What color is Behr Lantern Light?
Behr Lantern Light P320-2 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft butter-like cast and a lightly muted finish. Its high lightness keeps it from reading overly sunny, so it can brighten a room without the sharper energy of a saturated yellow. In north-facing light, Lantern Light may appear more subdued and cream-forward, while warm afternoon sun brings out its gentle golden tone. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, and hallways where a little warmth helps offset white trim and cooler flooring. Pair it with warm white, natural oak, woven textures, or muted sage accents for an easy, grounded palette.

LRV of Lantern Light
Lantern Light has an LRV of 81.1% 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 81.1%, 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.
