What color is Behr Sparkling Emerald?

Behr Sparkling Emerald P430-7 is a deep blue-green with a clear teal cast and enough saturation to read as a deliberate color statement. Its darker value gives it weight on walls, especially in dining rooms, studies, or powder rooms where a more enveloping backdrop suits the space. In bright daylight, the green side becomes more visible, while lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its cooler, shadowed teal character. Use it on cabinetry or a single accent wall with warm white trim, pale oak, brass hardware, and natural linen for contrast. This shade also pairs well with soft clay tones and muted blush accents that keep the room from feeling overly cool.

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 8.73%, 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.
