What color is Dulux Ochre White?
Dulux Ochre White is a pale, warm off-white with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading as stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a lightly chalky, settled appearance, with gentle creamy warmth becoming more noticeable in afternoon sun and warm artificial light. In cooler daylight, Ochre White can appear cleaner and closer to a muted ivory. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and ceilings where a quiet, light-reflecting neutral is needed without the sharpness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, linen, rattan, aged brass, and deeper earthy accents such as clay, olive, or charcoal.

What are Dulux Ochre White undertones?
Ochre White is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Ochre White
Ochre White has an LRV of 82% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82%, 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.
