What color is Behr Positive Energy?
Behr Positive Energy S370-1 is a very light, muted off-white with a soft yellow-green cast that keeps it from reading stark. Its high value gives walls an airy, gently washed appearance, while the subdued color keeps the effect grounded rather than bright. In daylight, the green undertone may be more noticeable; under warm bulbs, it can lean closer to a creamy, pale khaki gray. Use it in bedrooms, kitchens, or quiet work areas alongside warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper olive, charcoal, or earthy brown accents.

What are Behr Positive Energy undertones?
Positive Energy is a light, 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 Positive Energy
Positive Energy has an LRV of 74.08% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 74.08%, 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.
