What color is Behr North Woods?
Behr North Woods N410-7 is a deep, muted gray-green with a distinctly earthy cast. Its low-saturation finish keeps the color grounded rather than overly forest-like, while the charcoal-gray influence gives it substantial visual weight. In bright daylight, the green undertone is easier to notice; lower or warmer light can make it read closer to a softened dark gray. North Woods is especially effective on cabinetry, interior doors, built-ins, or a dining room accent wall where its depth can be appreciated. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, black metal, or light stone to bring out its quiet green character.

LRV of North Woods
North Woods has an LRV of 9.85% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.85%, 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.
