What color is Behr Mischievous?
Behr Mischievous P400-1 is a very light green with a cool, mint-leaning cast that keeps it fresh rather than yellow. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, especially in small bathrooms, laundry rooms, or bedrooms that need a gentle touch of color. In bright daylight, Mischievous can read as a soft green-white, while lower or warmer light may make its green tint appear slightly more noticeable. Pair it with crisp white trim, light oak, pale gray stone, or brushed nickel for a clean, understated palette. This shade is best suited to broad wall areas or a light, painted ceiling rather than high-contrast cabinetry.

LRV of Mischievous
Mischievous has an LRV of 82.18% 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 82.18%, 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.
