What color is Behr Whipped Mint?
Behr Whipped Mint MQ3-20 is a pale, softened green with a cool gray cast that keeps it from looking sugary or overly pastel. In clear daylight, the mint note is more noticeable, while north-facing rooms can make it read quieter and slightly grayer. It has a clean, airy look on bedroom or bathroom walls and can also give kitchen cabinetry a gentle color break from white. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, honed stone, linen, and aged brass to bring out its softer side. Dark green accents or a few terracotta pieces add useful contrast without making the room feel overly themed.

LRV of Whipped Mint
Whipped Mint has an LRV of 69% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 69%, 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.
