What color is Dulux Rock Salt?
Dulux Rock Salt 50BG 83/009 is a very pale grey-white with a clean, lightly cool appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet and understated, so it reads close to off-white on broad walls while still providing more definition than a pure white. In daylight, Rock Salt can appear crisp and airy; under warmer bulbs, it softens without becoming noticeably creamy. It suits kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and open-plan living areas where a subtle backdrop is needed. Pair it with white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted blue-green textiles for a restrained, cohesive finish.

LRV of Rock Salt
Rock Salt has an LRV of 81.91% 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 81.91%, 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.
