Behr

Ecological

S380-6

Ecological is a muted mid-tone green with gray undertones and a slight yellow shift in its base, registering an LRV of 50.3. This positions it at the center of the brightness range, providing clear color presence while still allowing other elements in a room to stand out. The desaturation keeps it from appearing overly vivid, and the warm lean in its undertone gives it an earthy, organic character.

It is commonly applied in studies, dining rooms, and kitchens with natural wood or stone finishes. Ecological works well alongside Behr Swiss Coffee, Behr Back to Nature, Behr Sage Green, and contrasts effectively with Behr Cracked Pepper or Behr Graphic Charcoal.

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.
