What color is Behr Roasted Corn?
Behr Roasted Corn P290-3 is a light, sunny yellow with a creamy cast that keeps it from reading like a sharp primary yellow. Its warm golden undertone is especially noticeable in daylight, while evening lamps can make it appear softer and more buttery. This shade is a natural fit for kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, or children’s spaces where a pale color with visible warmth is welcome. Pair Roasted Corn with warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and muted green or terracotta accents for an earthy palette. On a full wall, it brings more color than off-white without becoming visually heavy.

LRV of Roasted Corn
Roasted Corn has an LRV of 76.84% 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 76.84%, 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.
