What color is Behr Citrus Peel?

Behr Citrus Peel P360-5 is a softened yellow-green with an olive cast and a lightly muted, mid-tone presence. Its earthy green undertone keeps the color from reading as bright chartreuse, while the yellow influence gives it a dry, sunlit look in daylight. In rooms with cooler light, Citrus Peel can appear more subdued and olive; warmer bulbs tend to bring forward its yellow-green character. It suits a kitchen, breakfast nook, mudroom, or painted cabinet accent, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, woven rattan, and matte black hardware. Pair it with clay-toned neutrals or deep forest green for a grounded palette.

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 43.86%, 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.
