What color is Behr Little Sun Dress?
Behr Little Sun Dress P280-5 is a clear, mid-tone golden yellow with a warm, sunlit cast. Its #f7c85f color value reads as cheerful and fairly saturated, landing between buttery yellow and soft marigold rather than leaning orange. In bright daylight, it can look crisp and luminous, while evening lighting brings out a richer honeyed depth. Use it on a breakfast nook wall, a painted front door, or kitchen cabinetry where a focused hit of color feels appropriate. Pair Little Sun Dress with warm white trim, pale wood, terracotta tile, or muted blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Little Sun Dress
Little Sun Dress has an LRV of 59.03% 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 59.03%, 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.
