What color is Behr Frittata?
Behr Frittata M290-2 is a very light creamy beige with a noticeable buttery-yellow cast and a soft touch of peach. Its high brightness keeps it from reading heavy, while the warm undertone gives white walls a gentler, less stark alternative. In north-facing rooms, Frittata may look like a pale biscuit cream; direct afternoon sun can bring out its sunnier golden notes. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, and living-room walls, especially alongside warm white trim, honey-toned oak, rattan, and natural linen. Pair it with muted clay, dusty olive, or medium warm brown accents for contrast without cooling down the palette.

LRV of Frittata
Frittata has an LRV of 84.43% 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 84.43%, 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.
