What color is Dulux Grey Tabby?
Dulux Grey Tabby 00NN 16/000 is a mid-depth grey with an unusually neutral appearance, sitting close to an even mix of black and white rather than leaning strongly warm or cool. Its muted, low-saturation character gives walls a grounded look without making them feel flat. In bright daylight, Grey Tabby can read as a clean charcoal-grey softened by its medium value, while lower light brings out its deeper, more shadowed side. It suits studies, living rooms, hallways, and exterior details where a substantial neutral is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, black metal, pale oak, concrete, or soft stone finishes for a restrained, material-led scheme.

LRV of Grey Tabby
Grey Tabby has an LRV of 14.74% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.74%, 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.
