What color is Behr Summer Dragonfly?
Behr Summer Dragonfly M440-4 is a muted blue-green with a soft gray cast, sitting in the mid-light range rather than reading as a pale pastel. Its cool teal character is clear in daylight, while warmer bulbs can bring forward its gentle green side. Use this color on bedroom, bathroom, or home office walls when you want definition without the visual weight of a deep shade. It pairs cleanly with crisp white trim, weathered oak, pale limestone, and brushed nickel, while charcoal or deep navy accents add contrast. Summer Dragonfly also has enough restraint for painted cabinetry, especially in rooms with natural wood floors or warm neutral counters.

LRV of Summer Dragonfly
Summer Dragonfly has an LRV of 34.97% 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 34.97%, 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.
