What color is Behr Wintergreen Dream?
Behr Wintergreen Dream M430-3 is a light, muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly minty. Its cool undertone is noticeable, though the moderate lightness gives it enough presence for full walls in a bedroom, bathroom, or quiet home office. In bright daylight, Wintergreen Dream can show more of its gentle green side, while lower or cooler light may bring forward its blue-gray character. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a clean, grounded palette. It also makes a considered choice for painted cabinetry when balanced with warmer flooring or brass hardware.

LRV of Wintergreen Dream
Wintergreen Dream has an LRV of 54.76% 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 54.76%, 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.
