What color is Behr Invigorating?
Behr Invigorating P340-2 is a light, creamy yellow with a softened golden cast rather than a sharp lemon brightness. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the yellow warmth is noticeable enough to bring a sunlit feel to kitchens, breakfast nooks, and family rooms. In strong daylight, it can read as a clean buttery cream; lower or warmer lighting may draw out its richer yellow side. Pair Invigorating with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and muted sage or dusty blue accents for contrast. It is especially well suited to walls, but can also brighten a small ceiling or interior cabinet backing.

LRV of Invigorating
Invigorating has an LRV of 79% 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 79%, 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.
