What color is Behr Sycamore Grove?
Behr Sycamore Grove S420-5 is a muted, medium-depth green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft blue-leaning undertone. Its subdued saturation keeps it from reading bright or botanical, giving walls a grounded, gently weathered look. In cooler daylight, Sycamore Grove can appear more blue-gray, while warmer bulbs may bring out a slightly earthier green character. It suits bedrooms, home offices, and living rooms where a calm but visible wall color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal textiles, or creamy linen for contrast without making the palette feel stark.

LRV of Sycamore Grove
Sycamore Grove has an LRV of 20.59% 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 20.59%, 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.
