What color is Behr Tart Gelato?
Behr Tart Gelato P330-1 is a very light, creamy yellow with a soft ivory base and a gentle buttery cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading like a bright pastel, giving walls a clean warmth that is especially useful in rooms that need more light. In direct daylight, Tart Gelato can appear closer to pale cream, while warmer bulbs bring out its yellow undertone more clearly. It suits kitchens, breakfast areas, hallways, and bedrooms, particularly alongside warm white trim, natural oak, rattan, or light linen upholstery. For contrast, pair this shade with muted olive green, dusty blue, or charcoal accents rather than crisp blue-white finishes.

LRV of Tart Gelato
Tart Gelato has an LRV of 84% 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%, 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.
