What color is Behr Tornado Season?
Behr Tornado Season S450-6 is a deep, muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool teal undertone is clear in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out more of its slate-like depth. This shade has enough weight for a dining room, den, or bedroom wall, especially when paired with soft white trim and pale oak flooring. On cabinetry, Tornado Season creates a strong contrast against warm brass hardware, creamy counters, or natural stone with beige veining. It also suits an exterior front door or shutters where its subdued blue-green character can stand up to brick, weathered wood, and off-white siding.

LRV of Tornado Season
Tornado Season has an LRV of 13.76% 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 13.76%, 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.
