What color is Dulux Waxed Khaki?

Dulux Waxed Khaki 52GY 24/050 is a muted mid-depth grey-green with a soft, low-saturation finish. Its green cast is present but restrained, giving walls an earthy appearance rather than a distinctly botanical one. In daylight, this shade can read as a quiet weathered green, while lower or cooler light draws out its grey base. It suits studies, hallways, kitchens, and exterior joinery where a grounded alternative to standard grey is wanted. Pair it with chalky off-whites, dark charcoal details, aged brass, pale oak, or natural stone for a considered, material-led scheme.

LRV of Waxed Khaki

Waxed Khaki has an LRV of 24% 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 24%, 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.
