Its #009D7B color value reads cool and fresh, landing between an emerald-leaning green and a tropical turquoise. On a full wall, it makes a confident statement in a powder room, dining nook, or sunlit kitchen; on cabinetry, it brings crisp color to a white or pale wood backdrop.

LRV of Hummingbird Green
Hummingbird Green has an LRV of 25.98% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 25.98%, 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.
