What color is Behr Frosty Melon?
Behr Frosty Melon P220-1 is a very light, creamy peach with a soft yellow-beige cast that keeps it clearly warm without looking overly pink. Its low saturation gives walls a gentle washed finish, especially in bedrooms, nurseries, or dining areas where a bright white might feel too stark. In daylight, Frosty Melon reads as a pale melon-tinted ivory; under warm evening bulbs, its peach undertone becomes more noticeable. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm white trim, and muted clay or sand accents for a layered neutral scheme. It is best suited to broad wall surfaces, though it can also soften a ceiling in a room with plenty of natural light.

LRV of Frosty Melon
Frosty Melon has an LRV of 85.21% 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 85.21%, 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.
