What color is Dulux Frosted Dawn?

Dulux Frosted Dawn is an exceptionally pale off-white with a faint warm cast, sitting close to the softness of natural linen or unbleached paper. Its high lightness keeps walls looking open and clean, while the subtle cream-yellow undertone prevents it from reading as stark white. In bright daylight, Frosted Dawn can appear almost white; under warmer lamps, its gentle ivory note becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet, low-contrast backdrop is wanted, particularly alongside light oak, warm stone, woven textiles, and muted beige or clay accents. Use it across walls and ceilings for a softly continuous look, or pair it with deeper brown, charcoal, or olive details for definition.

LRV of Frosted Dawn

Frosted Dawn has an LRV of 93% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 93%, 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.
