What color is Behr Frostini?
Behr Frostini P390-1 is a very light, softly tinted green with a fresh, slightly yellow-leaning cast. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the gentle green presence is more noticeable in clear daylight. In warmer evening light, Frostini can read a little softer and creamier without losing its green character. It suits kitchens, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and light-filled bathrooms, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, muted olive, or a dusty blue-gray accent.

LRV of Frostini
Frostini has an LRV of 80.85% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 80.85%, 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.
