What color is Behr Young Green?
Behr Young Green P390-4 is a light, clear green with a softly cool cast and a fresh, leafy appearance. Its balanced blue-green undertone keeps it from reading yellow or grassy, while the moderate saturation gives it enough presence for a full wall. In bright daylight, Young Green can look crisp and lightly minted; lower or warmer lighting may bring out its softer pastel side. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a child’s room where a clean dose of color feels appropriate. Pair it with warm white trim, pale natural oak, woven textures, and muted clay or blush accents for contrast.

LRV of Young Green
Young Green has an LRV of 49.72% 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 49.72%, 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.
