What color is Dulux Mallard Green?

Dulux Mallard Green 50GG 05/063 is a deep, muted green with a cool charcoal cast and a subtle blue-green edge. Its low lightness gives it substantial visual weight, making it particularly effective on cabinetry, interior doors, built-in shelving, or a single enveloping wall. In bright daylight, the green reads more clearly, while evening or low artificial light brings forward its dark, near-black character. Pair Mallard Green with soft off-whites, pale stone, warm oak, aged brass, or blackened metal for contrast without losing its grounded feel.

LRV of Mallard Green

Mallard Green has an LRV of 6% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

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 6%, 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.
