What color is Dulux Chiffon Silk?
Dulux Chiffon Silk 66BB 77/035 is a very light, low-saturation grey with a subtle blue cast. Its pale value keeps walls looking open and clean, while the cool undertone is more noticeable beside creamy whites or warm wood. In daylight, this color can read as a soft blue-grey; under warmer artificial lighting, it may appear closer to a gentle silver grey. Use it across bedroom, bathroom, or hallway walls with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details. Chiffon Silk also suits quiet cabinetry or built-in shelving where a dark colour would feel too heavy.

LRV of Chiffon Silk
Chiffon Silk 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.
