What color is Behr Mountain Pine?
Behr Mountain Pine PPU12-19 is a muted, medium-dark gray with a clear cool green-blue cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and softened rather than overtly teal, giving walls a quiet, mineral-like presence. In bright natural light, the blue-green undertone is easier to notice; under warmer lamps, it can read closer to a deep weathered gray. Mountain Pine suits a study, bedroom, or powder room, and it also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior door. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, black metal, or stone finishes in soft beige and charcoal.

LRV of Mountain Pine
Mountain Pine has an LRV of 14.53% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.53%, 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.
