What color is Behr Tropical Trail?
Behr Tropical Trail P420-3 is a light, clear mint green with a noticeable aqua cast that keeps it from reading too pastel or sugary. Its medium-light value gives walls a fresh wash of color while still leaving a room feeling open. In bright daylight, Tropical Trail can look cleaner and slightly bluer; under warmer evening bulbs, its green side becomes more apparent. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and children’s spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim. Pair it with pale oak, woven natural fibers, soft sand tones, or deep navy accents for contrast.

LRV of Tropical Trail
Tropical Trail has an LRV of 48.12% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 48.12%, 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.
