What color is Dulux Beachcomb Grey?

Dulux Beachcomb Grey 30GG 61/010 is a light, low-saturation grey with a faint green cast visible in its #c9cbc9 color value. It reads clean and softly cool rather than stark, giving walls a quiet, lightly shaded appearance. In bright daylight, this color can look close to a pale neutral grey, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its subtle muted green undertone. Use it across living-room, bedroom, or hallway walls with off-white trim, pale oak, linen, and brushed nickel for a restrained finish. Beachcomb Grey also suits cabinetry or built-in shelving where a gentle contrast is wanted without introducing a noticeably dark color.

LRV of Beachcomb Grey

Beachcomb Grey has an LRV of 59.09% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 59.09%, 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.
