What color is Behr Gleeful?
Behr Gleeful P380-5 is a medium-light green with a softened yellow cast that keeps it closer to fresh foliage than to blue-gray sage. Its muted saturation gives walls color without making them feel overly bright, while the olive-leaning undertone becomes more noticeable under warm evening light. In daylight, Gleeful reads as a clearer, gently leafy green that suits kitchens, mudrooms, garden-facing bedrooms, and painted built-ins. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and clay or terracotta accents for an earthy palette. For more contrast, use charcoal hardware or deep brown wood against this shade on cabinetry or an accent wall.

LRV of Gleeful
Gleeful has an LRV of 40.81% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 40.81%, 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.
