What color is Dulux Buttermilk?
Dulux Buttermilk is a light, creamy beige with a clear yellow warmth that keeps it from reading stark or chalky. Its soft, low-contrast character makes it especially suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle off-white is wanted without the cool cast of many pale neutrals. In bright daylight, the color can appear airy and lightly sunlit, while evening lighting brings out its warmer cream notes. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, terracotta details, or muted olive green for an earthy interior scheme. Buttermilk also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or trim when paired with deeper warm neutrals rather than crisp blue-based whites.

LRV of Buttermilk
Buttermilk has an LRV of 77% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 77%, 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.
