What color is Behr New Moss?
Behr New Moss S410-2 is a light, muted green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly botanical or bright. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the slight green presence remains visible against white trim. In daylight, this shade can appear gently fresh and clean; warmer evening bulbs may pull it closer to a subdued sage-gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or a quiet kitchen backdrop, especially alongside warm white, pale oak, linen, and brushed nickel. Use deeper charcoal, earthy brown, or muted blue-green accents to give this color more definition without overwhelming its restrained character.

LRV of New Moss
New Moss has an LRV of 62.63% 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 62.63%, 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.
