What color is Behr Lazy Caterpillar?
Behr Lazy Caterpillar P370-5 is a softened yellow-green with an earthy, slightly muted cast rather than a bright spring-green look. Its visible yellow undertone gives it gentle warmth, while the green keeps it grounded and botanical. In daylight, this shade can read as a fresh leafy green; under warm indoor bulbs, its olive side becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, sunrooms, mudrooms, and children’s spaces, especially on walls or painted cabinetry. Pair Lazy Caterpillar with warm white trim, natural oak, woven grasses, charcoal accents, or dusty blue-gray textiles for contrast.

LRV of Lazy Caterpillar
Lazy Caterpillar has an LRV of 42.42% 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 42.42%, 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.
