What Color Is Rejuvenation, Really?
Rejuvenation S370-4 is a soft leafy green. Its hex value is #9DB977 and its LRV is 43, which sits in the middle of the range, so it holds clear color on a wall without darkening a room. Behr files it in the cool green family, but the hue reading of 85 degrees is on the yellow side of green, and that yellow is what gives it a fresh, spring-leaf character rather than a cold or minty one. Saturation is about 32 percent, so it is a real green, not a grayed sage.
People choose it when they want green that looks like actual foliage. At this lightness it feels open and easy rather than moody, and it reads friendly in rooms where a deeper green would feel formal. It is a common pick for kitchens, sunrooms, kids' rooms, and any space that already looks out at a garden.
The thing to check is how much color it really is. This is not a quiet, neutral green that disappears into the background. On four walls, in bright light, it will be the loudest thing in the room, and it can read almost chartreuse under warm bulbs. If you want green that behaves like a neutral, this is the wrong end of the family. Sample a full sheet, not a chip.
Rejuvenation carries a clear yellow lean. Its hue of 85 degrees sits between yellow and green, which is why the color reads like new leaves rather than like sage or eucalyptus. Saturation around 32 percent keeps it from going neon, but this is still an obviously colorful green with no gray hiding in it.
The yellow shows most against cool company. Next to a blue-based green the color looks distinctly warm and almost gold. Next to a beige or a cream the yellow calms down and the green comes forward instead. Against a clean white it looks brightest of all, so trim choice changes the whole read.
At LRV 43 it also picks up bounce from whatever is around it. A wood floor will push it warmer, a gray tile will cool it. Test it in the room with the flooring already down if you can.
Best Rooms and Uses for Rejuvenation
At LRV 43 Rejuvenation is a mid-tone that can carry a full room without going dark. It suits sunrooms, breakfast nooks, kids' rooms, playrooms, and laundry rooms, where a lively color is welcome. It also works in a bedroom for people who find deep greens too heavy, though the yellow keeps it more energetic than restful.
On cabinets it gives a kitchen an unmistakably fresh look, and it is easier to live with on lower cabinets or an island than on every door in the room. Built-ins, a mudroom bench, and interior doors all take it well.
Outside it works as a shutter, door, or garden-shed color, and it sits naturally against brick and stone because the yellow lean matches the warmth in both. On a full house body it is a strong commitment; most people keep it to accents. Behr is stocked at The Home Depot, which makes exterior sampling straightforward.
How Lighting Changes Rejuvenation
An LRV of 43 puts Rejuvenation right in the middle, so it reflects a fair amount of light and stays readable in most rooms without brightening them the way a pale color would. What shifts is intensity, not visibility.
In north-facing rooms the cool, flat daylight tames the yellow and the color settles into a softer, greener version of itself. That is often the most flattering light for it, because the yellow is the part that can get loud. South-facing rooms do the opposite: strong sun amplifies the yellow lean and the walls can push toward chartreuse in the middle of the day. East rooms look freshest in the morning, west rooms warmest in late afternoon.
Bulbs matter for the same reason. Warm 2700K lamps drive the yellow hard and can make the green look acidic at night. Cooler 3500K to 4000K light holds it closer to leaf green. Look at a sample after dark before deciding.
Most complaints about Rejuvenation are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.

Sherwin-Williams Mesclun Green SW 6724 at LRV 42 and Dutch Boy Urban Zen 228-4DB at LRV 42 both come in at deltaE 3.07, in the same band and a little grayer.

Colors That Go With Rejuvenation
White trim is the standard partner, and the choice of white steers the whole room. A warm white keeps the yellow lean looking deliberate and the room soft. A cleaner, brighter white makes the green look crisper and more graphic.
Inside the Behr deck, the neighbors give you useful variations. Meditation Time S360-4 at LRV 44 is nearly the same brightness with a slightly softer read, which works for an adjacent room. Sagey 420F-4 at LRV 46 is lighter and calmer, a good ceiling or upper-cabinet partner over Rejuvenation below. French Parsley BIC-57 at LRV 39 is deeper and quieter for a door or an island, and Athenian Green 440F-4 at LRV 41 shifts toward a cooler green if you want to pull some of the yellow out of the scheme.
Beyond paint, natural wood, terracotta, and rattan all flatter it. Brass and matte black hardware suit it; cool chrome can look sterile against a color this warm.

Rejuvenation FAQ
Is Rejuvenation warm or cool?
Behr places Rejuvenation in the cool green family, but its hue of 85 degrees sits on the yellow side of green, so on a wall it usually reads warm and leafy rather than cold. In cool north light the yellow settles down and the color feels more balanced. In warm bulb light the yellow is unmistakable.
What LRV is Rejuvenation?
Rejuvenation S370-4 has an LRV of 43. On the 0 to 100 scale that is a true mid-tone, reflecting a moderate amount of light. It keeps clear color on the wall without making a room feel dark, which is why it works on full walls as well as on cabinets.
Does Rejuvenation work in a dark room?
Reasonably well. At LRV 43 it reflects enough light to stay visible as a green in a dim room rather than sinking into shadow. Cool, low light also mutes its yellow lean, which many people find more flattering. If you need more brightness, Sagey 420F-4 at LRV 46 is a slightly lighter neighbor in the same family.
What white trim goes with Rejuvenation?
Both directions work, and they give different rooms. A warm white softens the contrast and lets the yellow-green look natural and garden-like. A cleaner, brighter white sharpens the edge and makes the green read crisper and more modern. With an LRV of 43 on the walls, any white in the mid-70s or above will clearly separate as trim.
Is Rejuvenation good for cabinets or exteriors?
It works on cabinets, especially on an island, lower run, or laundry and mudroom cabinetry where a lively green is welcome. At LRV 43 it keeps the room bright. Outdoors it suits shutters, doors, and outbuildings, and its yellow lean sits comfortably against brick and stone. On a whole house body it is a big commitment, so sample a large board first.
Is Rejuvenation a sage green?
No. Sage greens are grayed and low in saturation, while Rejuvenation runs about 32 percent saturation with a yellow lean at 85 degrees, so it reads as a clear leaf green. If you want something quieter in the same neighborhood, Athenian Green 440F-4 at LRV 41 pulls cooler and calmer.
