What color is Dulux Night Jewels 1?

Dulux Night Jewels 1 00NN 05/000 is an extremely deep charcoal that sits close to black, with a nearly neutral cast. Its low-light value gives walls a strong, enclosing presence, while daylight can reveal the subtle softness in its dark grey surface. Use Night Jewels 1 on a feature wall, library shelving, interior doors, or cabinetry where crisp contrast is wanted without the absolute severity of pure black. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or light stone to keep the surrounding scheme clear and grounded. In larger rooms, adequate natural or layered lighting will help retain definition across the painted surface.

LRV of Night Jewels 1

Night Jewels 1 has an LRV of 3.94% 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 3.94%, 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.
