What color is Behr Extreme Yellow?
Behr Extreme Yellow P260-7 is a bright, high-saturation yellow with a clear golden-orange cast, reflected in its #ffb729 color value. It brings strong visual energy to a space, reading like concentrated sunlight rather than a soft pastel or muted mustard. On a full wall, this shade is best suited to areas that can handle bold color, such as a breakfast nook, playroom, creative studio, or a sunny entry. It can feel especially intense under warm incandescent light, while daylight helps show its crisp, vivid yellow character. Extreme Yellow pairs well with clean white trim, charcoal accents, natural oak, and matte black hardware. For a smaller dose, use it on a door, cabinet interior, shelving back, or an exterior accent against neutral siding.

LRV of Extreme Yellow
Extreme Yellow has an LRV of 50.49% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 50.49%, 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.
