3Jojoba is Behr's quiet, competent sage-green — not a design-blog darling, just a genuinely balanced gray-green that Behr's own team calls calming, and the color itself backs that up.
4Behr's December 2023 Color of the Month, a dark olive at LRV 12 that glows on cabinets and doors in good light.
5Vine Leaf is Behr's deep, gray-cast forest green — the color you reach for when you want dark green that reads grounded and a little expensive, not garden-fresh.
6Boreal is Behr's quiet answer to the moody-cabinet-green trend — a deep green-gray built on a slate-blue undertone that decides everything.

9Laurel Tree is Behr's answer to the navy-cabinet trend: a warm, grayed-down olive green the brand named a Color of the Month rather than a Color of the Year, and the modest title fits it well.

The most common green-buyer regret is a surprise undertone on the wall. Start from the direction the color leans, not the chip alone.
Behr's green family is huge — 715 colors in this slice alone, spanning everything from the palest whisper of green to deep forest shades. The lightest, like White Willow (430C-1) at an LRV of 95, read almost as soft whites with a green cast, while the darkest sit near an LRV of 6 and feel rich and grounding.
The undertones run the full range too. You get fresh, leafy greens like Avocado Whip (M360-3) and Green Neon (P340-6), calmer gray-greens like Rhino (710E-3), and earthy, natural tones like Nature Green (MQ6-12) and Valley Vineyards (M310-7). That breadth means there is a Behr green for a quiet bedroom and a Behr green for a bold front door.
The whole Behr green range by depth. LRV is the number to trust: the same green looks two steps darker on a wall than on a chip.
LRV (Light Reflectance Value) tells you how much light a color bounces back. It runs from 0 (near black) to 100 (near white), and it is the fastest way to narrow 715 greens down to the few that will actually work in your room.
In a small or north-facing room with little natural light, lean toward the high end — something like Cavan (M380-1) at LRV 85 or White Willow at 95 keeps the space open and airy. For a cozy den, an accent wall, or cabinets you want to stand out, drop down to Tournament Field (M420-6) at LRV 25 or Valley Vineyards at 16. Mid-range greens like Nature Green at 36 or Green Neon at 47 give you real color without going dark.
Stuck between two? These head-to-heads settle the ones people actually can't pick between.
Each room page shows green picks from every US brand side by side, so you can compare in context.






Soft, light greens shine in bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens where you want a calm, clean feeling — White Willow, Cavan, and Avocado Whip all work as gentle wall colors that never overwhelm. They pair naturally with wood, white tile, and brass, which makes them easy to live with for years.
The deeper greens earn their keep as statement pieces. Tournament Field or Valley Vineyards look great on kitchen islands, built-in shelving, a dining room, or a front door. Because Behr's premium lines hold up well, the durable Marquee or Dynasty options are smart for high-touch spots like cabinets, trim, and doors.

Behr is sold exclusively at The Home Depot, and every color is mixed to order at the paint counter — nothing sits pre-made on a shelf. You pick the color, choose a line, and they tint a can while you wait. The lines run from Premium Plus (around $35/gal, strong value) up through Ultra, Marquee (around $55, one-coat), and Dynasty (around $65, the most stain- and scuff-resistant). Behr's reputation is the best big-box value, with strong coverage and durability on the premium lines for the price.
Because paint is mixed to order, you are not locked into one brand. A store can match a Behr green like Avocado Whip or Valley Vineyards into another brand's base, and match other brands' greens — including the featured Kompozit deck — into Behr. Bring the name and code (for example M360-3) or a physical chip, and the counter can get you very close in whatever line you prefer.

Greens are easy to pair because they read as a natural color. For trim and ceilings, a clean white keeps things crisp — Behr's Ultra Pure White or the softer Swiss Coffee both work, with Swiss Coffee being the warmer, more forgiving choice next to earthy greens like Nature Green or Valley Vineyards.
For a layered look, pair a light green wall with a deeper green from the same slice rather than reaching for a contrasting color. A bedroom in Cavan with a Rhino accent wall feels intentional and calm. If you want warmth, bring in beige or greige accents like Even Better Beige to balance the cool side of greens such as Green Neon.
Sage Green (ICC-77) — Behr's answer to the single biggest color search of the moment, a grayed mid-depth sage at LRV 22 for cabinets, doors, and accent walls. Urban Nature and Bitter Sage and Alpine Trail round out the short list most people choose from.
Behr's green family has 715 colors in this slice. They span from very light, almost-white greens at an LRV of 95 like White Willow (430C-1) down to deep, dark greens near an LRV of 6, so you have real range whether you want a soft bedroom green or a bold front door.
Pick a high-LRV green so the room stays bright. Cavan (M380-1) at LRV 85 or White Willow (430C-1) at LRV 95 reflect a lot of light and keep a small or north-facing space feeling open instead of closed in.
Go with a durable line for high-touch surfaces. Marquee (around $55/gal, one-coat) is a strong choice, and Dynasty (around $65) is the top tier for stain and scuff resistance. A deep green like Tournament Field (M420-6) or Valley Vineyards (M310-7) holds up best in those lines.
A clean white is the safe, classic pairing. Ultra Pure White keeps things crisp and bright, while the warmer Swiss Coffee looks better next to earthy greens like Nature Green (MQ6-12) or Valley Vineyards. For a layered look, pair a light green wall with a deeper green from the same family.
Yes. Because all paint is mixed to order, a store can match a Behr green into another brand's base, and match other brands — including the featured Kompozit deck — into Behr. Bring the color name and code, such as M360-3 for Avocado Whip, or a physical chip for the closest match.
