What color is Behr Citrus Punch?
Behr Citrus Punch P230-4 is a light, warm peach with a creamy apricot cast and a soft blush undertone. Its gentle saturation keeps it from reading overly sugary, making it a comfortable choice for bedroom walls, a sunny breakfast nook, or a powder room. In bright daylight, Citrus Punch can look fresh and lightly coral-leaning, while evening light brings out its warmer peach character. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and muted terracotta for a layered, earthy palette. For contrast, charcoal details or dusty blue-gray textiles give this shade a more grounded edge.

LRV of Citrus Punch
Citrus Punch has an LRV of 64.11% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 64.11%, 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.
