What color is Behr Truly Olive?
Behr Truly Olive S350-6 is a muted mid-tone olive with a noticeable yellow-brown cast and a softened, grayish finish. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly green, giving walls a grounded look that feels especially at home beside warm white trim, aged brass, oak, and woven natural fibers. In bright daylight, Truly Olive can show more of its earthy olive character, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its brown-leaning depth. It suits a study, dining room, mudroom, or built-in cabinetry where a deeper neutral is wanted without the heaviness of charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, clay-toned accents, or dark walnut for a layered palette.

LRV of Truly Olive
Truly Olive has an LRV of 16.24% 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 16.24%, 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.
