What color is Behr Pageant Green?
Behr Pageant Green MQ4-17 is a light, cool green with a noticeable aqua cast, sitting between mint and soft sea glass. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the blue-green undertone gives it more presence than a typical pastel green. In daylight, Pageant Green reads crisp and fresh; under warmer artificial light, it can look slightly softer and greener. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or bedroom walls where a clean wash of color is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or brushed nickel for a clear, relaxed contrast.

LRV of Pageant Green
Pageant Green has an LRV of 55.26% 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 55.26%, 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.
