What color is Behr Firefly?
Behr Firefly P310-3 is a very light, creamy yellow with a clear buttery warmth and a soft pastel depth. Its pale gold undertone keeps it brighter than beige while avoiding the sharpness of a true primary yellow. In sunny rooms, Firefly can read as a gentle wash of warm daylight; under warmer bulbs, it becomes creamier and more mellow. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, and hallways where a light color can add noticeable warmth without making the walls feel heavy. Pair it with crisp white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, or muted blue-gray accents for contrast.

What are Behr Firefly undertones?
Firefly is a near-white, soft pale yellow. The HEX sample leans yellow; this describes its measurable digital hue direction, not a hidden paint pigment. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Firefly
Firefly has an LRV of 85.7% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 85.7%, 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.
