What color is Behr Spring Reflection?
Behr Spring Reflection MQ6-13 is a light, muted green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its gentle green presence feels slightly cool and airy in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can make the color appear more subdued and gray-green. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living room walls where a quiet wash of color is wanted without strong saturation. Pair Spring Reflection with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and matte black details for contrast. It can also give painted cabinetry a calm, understated look, especially alongside light stone or brushed nickel hardware.

LRV of Spring Reflection
Spring Reflection has an LRV of 45.55% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 45.55%, 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.
