What color is Behr Venom?
Behr Venom P340-7 is a deep, earthy yellow-green with a strong olive cast and a dry, slightly mustard-like character. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading like a bright chartreuse, while the darkened base gives it enough weight for cabinetry, a dining room, or a dramatic accent wall. In direct daylight, Venom can show more of its golden yellow side; under softer indoor lighting, its olive undertone becomes more pronounced. Pair it with warm white trim, black metal details, natural oak, or tan leather for a grounded palette. It also holds up well beside clay-toned neutrals and dusty blue accents.
LRV of Venom
Venom has an LRV of 31.65% and refers to Medium 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 31.65%, 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.
