What color is Dulux Denim Drift?

Dulux Denim Drift 87BG 27/077 is a muted mid-tone blue-grey with a cool, lightly smoky cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading as bright blue, giving walls a calm, grounded look in living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices. In daylight, the blue character is clearer, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring forward its grey side. Denim Drift suits pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal textiles, and crisp off-white trim, and it also makes a measured choice for cabinetry or a single architectural accent.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 25.13%, 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.
