What color is Behr Willow Grove?
Behr Willow Grove PPU11-06 is a muted, medium-light green with a noticeable yellow-olive cast and a softened gray quality. Its low saturation keeps the color from reading overly leafy, giving walls a grounded, natural look instead. In bright daylight, Willow Grove can appear slightly fresher and greener, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its earthy olive side. It suits bedrooms, studies, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, oatmeal textiles, light oak, aged brass, and matte black hardware. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper charcoal, clay brown, or a dark olive-green accent.

LRV of Willow Grove
Willow Grove has an LRV of 40.58% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 40.58%, 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.
