What color is Behr New Bamboo?
Behr New Bamboo PPU10-04 is a muted yellow-green with an earthy olive cast and a medium-light depth. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading too bright, giving walls a grounded, leafy look rather than a crisp spring green. In strong daylight, New Bamboo can show more of its warm green character, while lower light brings forward its grayed, olive side. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, home offices, and exterior trim where a nature-based color feels appropriate without becoming overly dark. Pair it with warm off-whites, clay-toned accents, natural oak, woven fibers, or dark bronze hardware for a cohesive finish.

LRV of New Bamboo
New Bamboo has an LRV of 31.11% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 31.11%, 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.
