What color is Behr Old Celadon?

Behr Old Celadon PPU25-05 is a muted mid-tone gray with a subtle olive-beige cast, reflected in its gently lowered blue component. It reads as a quiet neutral rather than a pronounced green, with a softened, slightly warm appearance that keeps it from feeling stark. In bright daylight, Old Celadon can look more like a pale weathered gray, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its earthy khaki undertone. Use it on living room, bedroom, or hallway walls with creamy off-whites, natural oak, linen, and aged brass for a grounded palette. It also suits cabinetry or built-in shelving when paired with darker charcoal accents and matte black hardware.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 39%, 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.
