What color is Behr Bit Of Lime?

Behr Bit Of Lime P350-1 is a very pale, creamy off-white with a soft yellow cast visible beneath its light surface. Its high lightness keeps it from reading as a true yellow, while the warm tint gives white walls a gentler, less stark appearance. In bright daylight, Bit Of Lime can look close to a sun-warmed ivory; lower or cooler lighting may bring out its subdued beige-cream side. Use it on walls in kitchens, breakfast nooks, or bedrooms where a lightly warmed neutral is preferred over crisp white. It pairs naturally with warm white trim, light oak, woven fibers, and muted green or clay-toned accents.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 88.6%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
