What color is Behr Praying Mantis?
Behr Praying Mantis P370-2 is a very light, softened yellow-green with a creamy cast rather than a sharp citrus look. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the green undertone gives white-heavy rooms a little more color and definition. In daylight, this shade can read as a gentle spring green; under warmer bulbs, its yellow side becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and bedrooms where a low-contrast wash of color is wanted. Pair Praying Mantis with warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and muted clay or soft gray accents.

LRV of Praying Mantis
Praying Mantis has an LRV of 77.87% 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 77.87%, 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.
