What color is Behr Spinach Dip?
Behr Spinach Dip M340-6 is a muted olive green with a noticeable yellow cast, giving it an earthy, softened look rather than a crisp botanical green. Its medium depth and restrained saturation make it especially well suited to kitchen cabinetry, a dining room, or a grounded accent wall. In brighter light, the yellow-green character becomes clearer; lower or cooler light can make it read more subdued and olive-toned. Pair Spinach Dip with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, terracotta, or charcoal for a layered, material-rich palette.

LRV of Spinach Dip
Spinach Dip has an LRV of 27.62% 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 27.62%, 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.
