What color is Behr Vintage Teal?
Behr Vintage Teal MQ6-33 is a muted blue-green with a medium depth and a softly grayed finish. Its teal character leans cool, though the green note keeps it from reading like a straightforward blue. In bright daylight, this color can appear clearer and slightly bluer, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its subdued, smoky quality. It suits bathroom walls, a home office, or painted cabinetry where a noticeable color is wanted without a high-saturation look. Pair Vintage Teal with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, charcoal accents, or soft clay-toned textiles for contrast.

LRV of Vintage Teal
Vintage Teal has an LRV of 24.8% 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 24.8%, 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.
