What color is Behr Terrain?
Behr Terrain MQ6-47 is a muted olive green with a noticeable yellow-green cast and a softened, earthy depth. Its medium-dark value gives walls definition without reading as overly heavy, especially when paired with warm white trim or natural oak. In bright daylight, Terrain can show more of its botanical green side, while lower light draws out its grayer, more subdued character. It suits a study, mudroom, kitchen cabinetry, or an exterior front door where a grounded color is wanted. Pair it with clay-toned accents, aged brass, black hardware, linen, and stone for a layered natural-material palette.

LRV of Terrain
Terrain has an LRV of 18.66% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.66%, 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.
