What color is Behr Brazilian Citrine?
Behr Brazilian Citrine S310-5 is a muted golden tan with a noticeable ochre cast and an earthy, sun-warmed character. Its medium depth keeps it from reading as pale beige, while the softened saturation makes the color feel grounded rather than bright. In strong daylight, Brazilian Citrine can show more of its golden-yellow side; under warmer bulbs, it settles into a deeper caramel-brown tan. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and kitchens where warm wood, aged brass, terracotta, or woven natural fibers are already part of the palette. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, deep olive, or warm clay tones for contrast without making the room feel overly busy.

LRV of Brazilian Citrine
Brazilian Citrine has an LRV of 29.81% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
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 29.81%, 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.
