What color is Dulux Silver Lichen?

Dulux Silver Lichen 20GY 46/067 is a muted grey-green with a noticeable yellow-green cast and a softly weathered appearance. Its mid-light depth keeps it substantial enough for full walls, while the restrained saturation prevents it from reading overly leafy or bright. In daylight, Silver Lichen can look like a gentle sage-grey; under warmer artificial light, its earthy olive note becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, hallways, and living rooms, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep forest green, or a dusty clay-toned accent.

What are Dulux Silver Lichen undertones?

Silver Lichen is a mid-light, very muted sage-gray. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

HEX value:

#AFB3A4

RGB code:

175, 179, 164

LRV of Silver Lichen

Silver Lichen has an LRV of 43.54% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 43.54%, 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.
