What color is Behr Scallion?
Behr Scallion PPU10-01 is a muted, mid-depth green with a noticeable gray cast and an earthy olive lean. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading bright, making it a grounded option for living room walls, a study, or painted kitchen cabinetry. In warm daylight, Scallion can show more of its natural olive character, while cooler or dimmer light brings forward its smoky gray-green side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm putty neutrals, aged brass, oak, and blackened metal for a layered look. On an exterior, it has enough depth to define shutters or a front door without appearing overly dark.

LRV of Scallion
Scallion has an LRV of 15.63% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.63%, 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.
