What color is Behr Pine Mountain?

Behr Pine Mountain N420-6 is a muted, medium-dark gray-green with a softly weathered cast rather than a bright botanical look. Its low saturation keeps the green restrained, while the gray base gives it a grounded, slightly cool appearance. In daylight, Pine Mountain reads as an earthy green-gray; under warmer bulbs, it can look more subdued and charcoal-leaning. It suits studies, mudrooms, exterior siding, or lower cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and slate or black accents.

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 12.71%, 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.
