What color is Behr Lime Tree?
Behr Lime Tree P340-4 is a medium-light, softened yellow with a noticeable green cast that keeps it from reading as a straightforward sunny yellow. Its muted, earthy quality can resemble dried grass or a mellow chartreuse, with more golden warmth in bright daylight and a slightly khaki appearance under softer indoor lighting. Use it on kitchen or breakfast-room walls when you want color without the intensity of a clear citrus yellow. Lime Tree pairs especially well with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and deep olive or charcoal accents. It can also make a thoughtful choice for a painted cabinet island or a small exterior detail where its yellow-green character has room to stand out.

LRV of Lime Tree
Lime Tree has an LRV of 56.97% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 56.97%, 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.
