What color is Behr Walk Me Home?
Behr Walk Me Home MQ6-02 is a muted blue-green with a smoky gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its medium-dark depth reads cool and restrained, showing more teal in clear daylight and a deeper charcoal-blue character in lower light. Use it on a study, bedroom, or dining room wall where the color can create definition without feeling overly saturated. Walk Me Home also has enough weight for painted cabinetry or an exterior front door. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, aged brass, charcoal textiles, and soft clay or camel accents to bring out its balanced blue-green tone.

LRV of Walk Me Home
Walk Me Home has an LRV of 11.12% 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 11.12%, 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.
