What color is Behr Thai Teal?
Behr Thai Teal M460-6 is a medium-deep teal with a cool blue-green cast and enough saturation to hold its own on a full wall. Its balanced mix of green and blue keeps it from reading overly aquatic or overly forest-toned, giving the color a clean, grounded presence. In bright daylight, Thai Teal appears clearer and slightly more vivid, while lower light brings out its deeper, moodier side. It suits powder rooms, dining rooms, built-in cabinetry, or a front door, especially when paired with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed brass hardware. For contrast, use soft sand, terracotta, or muted coral accents rather than adding more cool blue tones.

LRV of Thai Teal
Thai Teal has an LRV of 15.16% 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 15.16%, 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.
