What color is Behr Recycled Glass?
Behr Recycled Glass MQ6-18 is a light, muted gray-green with a softly weathered appearance. Its low saturation keeps the green understated, reading almost neutral at a glance while still bringing a noticeable organic cast to a room. In bright daylight, this shade can appear cleaner and slightly cooler; under warmer lamps, its gray component becomes more apparent. Use it on bedroom, bathroom, or living-room walls with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel or aged brass details. Recycled Glass also makes a restrained cabinet color when paired with off-white counters or light natural stone.

What are Behr Recycled Glass undertones?
Recycled Glass is a mid-light, very muted pale sage. The HEX sample has a subtle green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Recycled Glass
Recycled Glass has an LRV of 51.51% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 51.51%, 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.
