What color is Behr Secluded Woods?

Behr Secluded Woods S420-7 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its blue-green lean gives the color a cool, shaded appearance, especially in north-facing rooms or low natural light. On walls, Secluded Woods can create a substantial backdrop for living rooms, libraries, or bedrooms with warm wood furniture. It also has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry, built-ins, or a front door when paired with soft off-white trim. Try it alongside natural oak, aged brass, charcoal textiles, and warm creamy neutrals to bring out its earthy character.

LRV of Secluded Woods

Secluded Woods has an LRV of 9.11% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

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 9.11%, 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.
