What color is Behr Lychee?
Behr Lychee S340-1 is a very light, softly muted off-white with a noticeable creamy yellow cast. Its pale depth keeps walls bright without reading as sharp white, while the low saturation gives it a gently softened appearance. In daylight, Lychee can look like a quiet warm ivory; under warmer bulbs, its buttery undertone becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, and living areas where white cabinetry, light oak, woven fibers, or natural linen are part of the palette. Pair it with warm wood, sandy beige, muted sage, or charcoal details for contrast.

What are Behr Lychee undertones?
Lychee is a near-white, very muted cream. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Lychee
Lychee has an LRV of 83.88% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 83.88%, 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.
