What color is Behr Soft Buttercup?
Behr Soft Buttercup P290-1 is a very light, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast rather than a sharp citrus edge. Its high brightness keeps it airy on large walls, while the yellow remains noticeable enough to warm up a kitchen, breakfast nook, or child’s room. In strong daylight, Soft Buttercup reads as a clean pale yellow; under warm lamps, it can take on a richer, more buttery appearance. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, or muted sage accents for a grounded palette. It is especially well suited to interior walls and small accents where a gentle wash of color is wanted without much visual weight.

LRV of Soft Buttercup
Soft Buttercup has an LRV of 84.7% 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 84.7%, 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.
