What color is Behr Intoxication?
Behr Intoxication PPU10-05 is a muted yellow-green with an earthy olive cast and a medium-light depth. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading as a bright citrus green, giving the color a grounded, slightly vintage character. In direct daylight, the yellow side becomes more noticeable, while lower or cooler light can bring out its olive quality. It makes an effective choice for a kitchen island, built-in shelves, or a small powder room where a stronger color can feel intentional without overwhelming the space. Pair Intoxication with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, matte black hardware, or clay-toned ceramics for a layered, organic look.

LRV of Intoxication
Intoxication has an LRV of 34.29% and refers to Medium 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 34.29%, 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.
