What color is Little Greene Joanna?
Little Greene Joanna 130 is a pale, softly muted off-white with a faint warm beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading creamy, while the subtle yellow-grey undertone gives it more depth than a crisp white. In bright daylight, Joanna appears light and gently chalky; under warmer evening lighting, its beige note becomes a little more noticeable. It suits walls and ceilings in bedrooms, hallways, and living spaces where a quiet near-neutral backdrop is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and deeper mushroom or olive accents for a grounded, layered interior.

What are Little Greene Joanna undertones?
Joanna 130 reads as a very light, muted off-white with a soft yellow-leaning bias in the supplied digital sample. It has low saturation, so the colour appears close to neutral rather than distinctly cream or yellow. Because no manufacturer undertone description was available, this assessment is based only on the provided screen colour and not on the paint formula. Warm artificial light may make its slight yellow warmth more noticeable, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and closer to a neutral pale white.

LRV of Joanna
Joanna has an LRV of 71% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71%, 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.
