What color is Behr Spring Glow?
Behr Spring Glow MQ4-45 is a light, softened yellow-green with a muted, leafy cast rather than a bright springtime intensity. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle green undertone gives white trim and natural wood a little more definition. In daylight, Spring Glow can read fresh and lightly sun-washed; under warmer bulbs, its yellow side becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, breakfast nooks, and bedrooms where a quiet wash of color is preferred over a stark neutral. Pair it with warm white, oat, light oak, woven rattan, or brushed brass for a grounded look, or use charcoal accents for sharper contrast.

LRV of Spring Glow
Spring Glow has an LRV of 68.23% 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 68.23%, 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.
