Behr

Jojoba

N390-3

Behr Jojoba is a muted sage green with soft gray undertones. Its LRV of 71.3 means it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light, keeping rooms open without appearing stark. The balanced temperature sits between warm and cool, allowing it to read as a green-tinged neutral under most lighting conditions.

This shade is commonly used in bedrooms, living areas, and bathrooms where a subdued, nature-derived tone is appropriate. It pairs naturally with Behr Swiss Coffee, Navajo White, Jungle Camouflage, Nature's Gift, and Morning Zen within the same brand palette.

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.
