What color is Behr Mountain Falls?
Behr Mountain Falls N420-2 is a light, muted green-gray with a soft, cool cast and low-key saturation. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the green undertone gives it more character than a standard gray. In bright daylight, Mountain Falls can read as a clean, lightly weathered sage; under warmer lamps, it settles into a gentler gray-green. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchens with white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or natural linen. Pair it with warm off-whites and charcoal accents for contrast, or use it on cabinetry for a subtle alternative to plain gray.

LRV of Mountain Falls
Mountain Falls has an LRV of 55.76% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 55.76%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
