What color is Behr Luscious Lemon?
Behr Luscious Lemon HDC-MD-24 is a light, warm golden yellow with a softly muted, honeyed cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its peachy-gold undertone gives it a sun-warmed look that can read creamier in low light and clearer yellow beside crisp white trim. Use it on a breakfast nook wall, a cheerful laundry room, or an accent area where a full-bodied yellow feels appropriate without becoming overly intense. Luscious Lemon pairs well with warm white, natural oak, woven rattan, terracotta, and muted olive green. For a more grounded scheme, combine this shade with charcoal accents or deep brown wood furniture.

LRV of Luscious Lemon
Luscious Lemon has an LRV of 54.03% 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 54.03%, 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.
