What color is Dulux Light Charcoal?
Dulux Light Charcoal 88BG 62/005 is a pale, low-saturation grey with a clean, lightly cool cast. Its high lightness keeps it from reading as a heavy charcoal, instead giving walls a soft mineral-grey appearance. In bright daylight, it can look close to a muted silver-grey, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its gentle neutral softness. Use it across living-room or bedroom walls when you want definition without a dark backdrop. Light Charcoal pairs well with crisp white trim, black metal details, pale oak, concrete, and blue-grey textiles.

LRV of Light Charcoal
Light Charcoal has an LRV of 60.02% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 60.02%, 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.
