What color is Dulux Warm Pewter?

Dulux Warm Pewter 50BG 38/011 is a soft mid-light grey with a faint blue-green cast visible in its balanced, slightly cool appearance. It has enough depth to define a room without reading dark, making it well suited to main walls in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways. In bright daylight, Warm Pewter can appear cleaner and cooler, while lower, warmer lighting may bring out its gentler grey character. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed nickel, or natural stone for a measured, grounded palette. This color also suits cabinetry or exterior details where a muted grey is wanted without a stark, icy finish.

LRV of Warm Pewter

Warm Pewter has an LRV of 39% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 39%, 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.
