What color is Behr Sap Green?
Behr Sap Green M350-3 is a light, softened yellow-green with a muted, khaki-like cast. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet on broad walls, where it can read as a gentle blend of pale olive, sage, and warm gray rather than a bright botanical green. Daylight tends to bring out its green-yellow side, while warmer artificial light can make it appear more earthy and beige. It suits kitchens, bedrooms, mudrooms, and covered exterior areas, especially alongside creamy whites, warm taupe, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass. Use Sap Green on walls or cabinetry when you want color that feels present but restrained.

LRV of Sap Green
Sap Green has an LRV of 55.52% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 55.52%, 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.
