What color is Benjamin Moore Lightning Bug?
Benjamin Moore Lightning Bug 340 is a clear, light golden yellow with a sunny, butter-yellow cast. Its high brightness keeps it airy on walls, while the noticeable yellow saturation gives it more presence than a soft cream. In direct daylight, Lightning Bug can read as crisp and cheerful; under warm bulbs, it shifts toward a richer honeyed tone. It suits breakfast nooks, playrooms, mudrooms, and small kitchens where a warm color can brighten the architecture. Pair it with clean white trim, natural oak, woven textures, or muted blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Lightning Bug
Lightning Bug has an LRV of 72.44% and refers to Off‑White 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 72.44%, 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.
