What color is Behr Margarita?

Behr Margarita P330-6 is a deep, earthy golden yellow with an olive cast that keeps it from reading too bright or citrusy. Its medium-dark value gives it enough weight for a dining room, study, or kitchen island, where it can act as a strong focal color rather than a pale backdrop. In direct daylight, Margarita shows more of its sun-baked yellow character, while lower or warmer light can bring out its muted green-gold undertone. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm charcoal, dark brown wood, black metal, or aged brass for a grounded palette. It is especially effective on cabinetry, built-ins, or a single accent wall when surrounded by quieter neutral finishes.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 37.06%, 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.
