What color is Dulux Malt Chocolate?
Dulux Malt Chocolate 80YR 57/070 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable rosy cast that keeps it from reading as plain cream. Its soft red-brown undertone gives the color gentle warmth, while the low saturation makes it feel slightly weathered rather than sugary or peachy. In bright daylight, Malt Chocolate can appear like a pale blush-taupe; under warmer lamps, it settles into a fuller biscuit-beige. It is well suited to bedroom, living room, or hallway walls where a quiet warm neutral is wanted without a yellow undertone. Pair it with chalky white trim, warm oak, natural linen, terracotta ceramics, or deeper mushroom and cocoa accents.

LRV of Malt Chocolate
Malt Chocolate has an LRV of 57% 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 57%, 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.
