What color is Behr Fuzzy Duckling?
Behr Fuzzy Duckling P270-5 is a clear, sunny golden yellow with a warm, lightly orange cast. Its medium-light depth gives it enough color to read distinctly on the wall without becoming as intense as a deep mustard.

It makes a lively choice for a kitchen, breakfast nook, mudroom, or a child’s room, especially on an accent wall or painted cabinetry. Pair Fuzzy Duckling with creamy whites, soft warm grays, natural oak, woven textures, and matte black hardware for contrast.

LRV of Fuzzy Duckling
Fuzzy Duckling has an LRV of 61.45% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 61.45%, 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.
