What Color Is Anime, Really?

Anime reads as a warm yellow tone — light — bounces daylight without going clinical. The notes below cover how Behr P340-5 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.

Best Rooms and Uses for Anime

Anime is an easy whole-room color for living spaces and bedrooms, and light enough to carry onto trim or a ceiling if you want a soft, seamless look. Yellows lift kitchens, hallways and kids' rooms with warmth.

Light by light

How Lighting Changes Anime

At LRV 60, Anime is a light color that bounces daylight around a room without tipping into stark white. Its yellow undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. It holds its undertone in most exposures, which is what makes light shades like this so forgiving room to room.

Test it in your light, not a showroom's

Most complaints about Anime are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
