What color is Behr Sliced Cucumber?

Behr Sliced Cucumber PPU10-11 is a light, muted green-gray with a soft yellow cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered look, especially in rooms with natural wood, woven textures, or aged brass details. In bright daylight, the pale green character is more noticeable, while evening lighting can pull it closer to a subdued gray-beige. Use Sliced Cucumber in bedrooms, kitchens, or quiet living areas alongside warm white trim, oatmeal linen, and medium oak. It can also make a restrained cabinet color when paired with creamy counters and simple matte hardware.

LRV of Sliced Cucumber

Sliced Cucumber has an LRV of 60.48% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 60.48%, 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.
