What color is Dulux Cornflower White?
Dulux Cornflower White is a pale, softened off-white with a gentle grey-green cast that keeps it from looking stark. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, lightly misted appearance, especially alongside crisp white trim. In north-facing rooms, Cornflower White may read cooler and more silvery, while warmer daylight can bring out its muted green undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open-plan living areas where a clean but less clinical alternative to pure white is wanted. Pair it with warm oak, brushed nickel, soft charcoal, or muted sage accents to make its subtle colouring feel intentional.

LRV of Cornflower White
Cornflower White has an LRV of 76% 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 76%, 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.
