What color is Behr Salamander?
Behr Salamander P370-6 is a muted yellow-green with an earthy, softened cast rather than a bright botanical look. Its medium-light depth gives it enough presence for full walls while keeping a room from feeling closed in. In daylight, the green character reads clearly, while warmer bulbs can bring forward its olive and golden undertones. Try it in a kitchen, mudroom, or home office with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and aged brass hardware. Salamander also makes a grounded cabinet color alongside creamy countertops or a lightly veined stone backsplash.

LRV of Salamander
Salamander has an LRV of 29.42% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.42%, 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.
