Behr

Salamander

P370-6

Salamander is a muted olive green with a yellow moss base. It has more punch than gray sage and works well on cabinets, doors, or a garden room wall. The yellow keeps it lively.

Try oyster trim, black metal, or natural cane. Where fixed finishes include warm wood everywhere, add a cooler counterpoint so the palette stays balanced. Stone floors make it feel settled.

Salamander in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
