Mountain Trail

Technical Profile

What color is Mountain Trail? It's a deep cool yellow with the hex code #4B4B2D. Mountain Trail is a distinctive shade in the Behr lineup, and while close cross-brand equivalents exist, its specific blend of cool tone and deep depth gives it a character worth comparing in person. Mountain Trail has a cool (green) undertone, which affects how it pairs with trim, flooring, and adjacent wall colors. Understanding a color's undertone is key to avoiding combinations that clash — it often matters more than the surface color itself. Mountain Trail (#4B4B2D) by Behr is a deep yellow paint color with a balanced saturation that feels natural and approachable. It delivers a grounded richness that adds drama and sophistication. On the temperature spectrum this shade carries a cool cast, lending calm and collected elegance. Its RGB channels are closely balanced, contributing to its neutral, even-keeled visual character. At an LRV of 29 it absorbs more light than it reflects, creating a moody, enveloping atmosphere. Deep ochre and mustard tones make striking accent walls in living rooms and pair beautifully with dark wood furniture. Satin or semi-gloss finishes help deep colors reflect just enough light to show their full depth, especially on accent walls and trim. For color coordination, Mountain Trail pairs beautifully with blue tones for bold complementary contrast, or with neighboring green and orange hues for a harmonious, flowing palette. Its cool (green) undertone means trim and ceiling whites should lean neutral to avoid a jarring clash. If Behr is unavailable in your area, close cross-brand alternatives exist from MPC, Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore and others. In terms of mood and atmosphere, Mountain Trail projects a confident, tailored sophistication associated with classic nautical and Art Deco aesthetics. Designers often reach for shades like this when the goal is to shape how a room feels, not just how it looks. This shade is a natural fit for cottage-core, transitional, and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. As part of the Behr palette, Mountain Trail benefits from a curated selection of coordinating colors that the brand recommends for trim, accent, and ceiling pairings. As with any paint color, Mountain Trail can shift noticeably between natural daylight, warm incandescent, and cool LED lighting — testing a sample swatch on your wall under different conditions is always recommended. Deep shades generally benefit from a quality primer and may require an extra coat for even, streak-free coverage. Deep tones pair beautifully with velvet upholstery, burnished metal fixtures, dark-stained wood, and textured wallcoverings on adjacent surfaces. You can order Mountain Trail (S-H-750) directly from Behr or through major paint retailers, and we recommend purchasing a peel-and-stick sample to preview it on your wall before buying gallons.
