What color is Behr Riesling Grape?
Behr Riesling Grape PPU9-06 is a muted yellow-green with a soft khaki cast and medium-light depth. Its subdued saturation keeps the color grounded, reading more like weathered olive and dried grass than a bright golden yellow. In daylight, Riesling Grape can show its earthy green influence, while warmer evening light may bring forward its mellow ochre side. It suits dining rooms, studies, mudrooms, or cabinetry where a natural-looking color can add presence without becoming loud. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, black hardware, terracotta accents, or dusty blue textiles for a layered, organic palette.

LRV of Riesling Grape
Riesling Grape has an LRV of 41.32% 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 41.32%, 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.
