What color is Behr Shamrock Green?
Behr Shamrock Green P420-5 is a mid-tone green with a noticeable blue cast, giving it a clean, slightly cool teal-green appearance. Its moderate depth keeps it lively on a full wall without reading neon or overly dark. In bright daylight, the color can look fresher and more green-forward, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its muted blue-green side. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a kitchen island where a clear hit of color feels appropriate. Pair Shamrock Green with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or matte brass for contrast, or use charcoal and soft gray for a crisper, more graphic palette.

LRV of Shamrock Green
Shamrock Green has an LRV of 24.65% 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 24.65%, 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.
