What color is Behr Spearmints?
Behr Spearmints P410-2 is a light, softened green with a noticeable mint cast and a gentle coolness. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the slight blue influence prevents it from reading as a yellow-green. In bright daylight, Spearmints can look fresh and clean; in cooler or dimmer light, its mint character becomes more apparent. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, bedrooms, and sunlit kitchens where a light green can replace white without making the room feel heavy. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or soft gray-blue accents for a grounded, lived-in finish.

LRV of Spearmints
Spearmints has an LRV of 65.98% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 65.98%, 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.
