Behr

Amazon Jungle

PPU9-24

Amazon Jungle is a dark olive with a yellow-brown undertone. Do not expect leafy green. It can work on a cabinet run or office wall when the room has clear daylight and lighter surfaces nearby.

Pair it with warm wood and cream trim to keep the color grounded. Black hardware makes it moodier. Cool gray flooring can deaden the olive, so put the sample directly against the floor before committing.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
