What color is Dulux County Cream?
Dulux County Cream is a light, warm cream with a noticeable beige-gold cast rather than a crisp white appearance. Its softly muted color value keeps it gentle on broad walls, where it can make living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways feel warmer without becoming overly yellow. In daylight, County Cream reads as a clean sandy cream, while warmer evening bulbs bring out its honeyed undertone. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, rattan, linen, and warm stone for a layered neutral scheme. Deep olive, clay red, or charcoal accents can add definition around this shade without fighting its warmth.

LRV of County Cream
County Cream has an LRV of 66% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 66%, 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.
