What color is Dulux Hawaiian Blue 1?
Dulux Hawaiian Blue 1 70BG 09/171 is a deep blue-green with a noticeably cool, shaded character. Its low lightness gives walls a strong sense of depth, while the green influence keeps it from reading as a straightforward navy. In daylight, Hawaiian Blue 1 can show more of its teal cast; under evening lighting, it appears darker and more enclosed. Use it on a study, dining-room wall, built-in cabinetry, or a front door, pairing it with soft off-whites, pale oak, warm brass, and natural linen for contrast.
LRV of Hawaiian Blue 1
Hawaiian Blue 1 has an LRV of 6.65% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
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 6.65%, 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.
