What color is Behr Spirited Yellow?
Behr Spirited Yellow P290-4 is a light, sunlit yellow with a warm golden cast and a softened, creamy appearance. Its brightness is clear without reading as neon, making it a cheerful option for kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, or children’s spaces. In direct daylight, Spirited Yellow can look clean and sunny, while evening lighting tends to bring out its richer honeyed warmth. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, or use natural oak, rattan, linen, and warm brass to emphasize its relaxed golden tone. Deep charcoal, muted navy, and leafy green accents give this color a more grounded backdrop.

LRV of Spirited Yellow
Spirited Yellow has an LRV of 71.68% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71.68%, 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.
