What color is Behr Teal Motif?
Behr Teal Motif MQ6-35 is a deep, saturated blue-green with a clearly cool cast. Its dark teal character gives it enough weight for cabinetry, a powder room, or an accent wall behind a bed or dining table. In bright daylight, the blue-green color reads clean and vivid, while lower light can make it appear moodier and closer to a deep blue teal. Pair Teal Motif with crisp white trim, pale gray-blue walls, light oak, or warm brass hardware to bring out its richness. On an exterior door, this shade creates a strong contrast against soft white, sand, or light gray siding.

LRV of Teal Motif
Teal Motif has an LRV of 7.77% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.77%, 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.
