What color is Behr River Mist?

Behr River Mist S410-1 is a pale, muted green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly leafy or bright. Its light value gives walls an airy appearance, while the subtle green undertone adds more character than a standard off-white. In daylight, River Mist can look gently fresh and lightly cool; under warm bulbs, its gray-green quality becomes quieter and more subdued. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens, especially alongside creamy white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or honed stone. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, dusty blue, or warm clay accents rather than highly saturated greens.

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 71.62%, 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.
