What color is Dulux Chic Shadow?
Dulux Chic Shadow 00NN 53/000 is a light, near-neutral grey with a softly muted appearance and very little visible color cast. Its low saturation keeps walls looking calm and understated rather than noticeably cool or warm. In brighter daylight, Chic Shadow can read as a clean pale grey, while lower or warmer artificial light may make its softened, slightly off-white quality more apparent. Use it across living-room, bedroom, or hallway walls where you want definition without a strong contrast. Pair this shade with crisp white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed metal, or natural stone for a restrained, layered finish.

LRV of Chic Shadow
Chic Shadow has an LRV of 49.05% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 49.05%, 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.
