What color is Behr Splendor Gold?
Behr Splendor Gold P250-6 is a bright, sun-warmed golden orange with a clear yellow base and a noticeable amber cast. Its high saturation gives it real presence, making it better suited to an accent wall, painted front door, or a small dose of cabinetry than to every wall in a compact room. In direct daylight, Splendor Gold reads lively and almost citrusy, while evening lighting can pull forward its deeper orange-gold side. Pair it with soft cream, warm white, charcoal, or deep navy to give the color definition, and add natural oak, woven fibers, or aged brass for a grounded finish.

LRV of Splendor Gold
Splendor Gold has an LRV of 50.9% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 50.9%, 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.
