What color is Behr Turtle Creek?
Behr Turtle Creek M410-6 is a medium-depth green with a softened, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its balance of green and muted coolness can make it feel grounded on large wall areas, especially in living rooms, bedrooms, or a home office. In daylight, the color shows a clear botanical green presence, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its more subdued, earthy side. Pair Turtle Creek with warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed brass for contrast. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or a front door when framed by pale neutral siding or walls.

LRV of Turtle Creek
Turtle Creek has an LRV of 21.88% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 21.88%, 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.
