What color is Dulux First Dawn?

Dulux First Dawn is a light, softly muted blue with a clear cool cast and a gentle hint of blue-green beneath it. Its pale value keeps it airy rather than icy, especially on broad walls where the color reads as a washed, daylight blue. In bright natural light, First Dawn can appear cleaner and slightly more blue, while evening or shaded rooms bring out its quieter greyed quality. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing living spaces, paired with crisp white trim, pale oak, light stone, or brushed nickel. For contrast, use deeper navy accents or charcoal details rather than heavily warm, yellow-toned finishes.

LRV of First Dawn

First Dawn has an LRV of 62% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 62%, 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.
