What color is Dulux Natural Calico?
Dulux Natural Calico 37YY 79/084 is a very light, softly warm neutral with a creamy beige cast rather than a crisp white appearance. Its #ECE2D2 value suggests a gentle yellow-beige undertone that keeps walls from looking stark, especially alongside white trim. In daylight, this shade should read pale and understated; under warm evening lamps, its creaminess is likely to become more noticeable. Natural Calico suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a low-contrast backdrop is wanted. Pair it with warm oak, linen upholstery, clay pottery, muted olive, or deeper brown accents for a grounded, natural-looking scheme.

LRV of Natural Calico
Natural Calico has an LRV of 79% 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 79%, 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.
