What color is Dulux Buckingham?

Dulux Buckingham is a deep, mid-saturated green with a cool, slightly blue-leaning cast. In bright daylight, its green character becomes clearer, while lower light gives it a denser, more shadowed appearance. It has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry, a study, or a painted feature wall, especially where a grounded color is wanted without reading nearly black. Pair Buckingham with soft off-whites, pale limestone, warm oak, or aged brass to bring out its natural richness. On exterior woodwork or a front door, this shade can provide a strong green contrast against light brick or cream render.

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 12%, 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.
