What color is Behr Minted Lemon?
Behr Minted Lemon PPU10-08 is a light, muted yellow-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its soft, low-saturation character can make it feel like a subdued botanical neutral on walls, especially alongside warm white trim. In daylight, the pale green-yellow base is more apparent, while lower or warmer light may bring forward its gentle khaki quality. Minted Lemon suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, and bedrooms where a quiet wash of color is wanted without strong contrast. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, woven linen, and matte black hardware for a grounded, lightly organic look.

LRV of Minted Lemon
Minted Lemon has an LRV of 53.35% 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 53.35%, 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.
