What color is Little Greene Juniper Ash?
Juniper Ash is a blue-grey that people genuinely rave about - the kind of shade that gets “wow” comments once it’s on the wall. Online photos can look all over the place, and that’s not just screens being screens: this colour really shifts with the light. In daylight it reads bluer; under lamps it goes greyer and feels deeper. In a north-facing room it can come across almost navy, which is why it suits bedrooms, snug living rooms, and studies so well. Fun detail: it also shows up in Little Greene’s Re:Mix upcycled collection, where their “blues” were blended and reformulated into shades like Juniper Ash.

LRV of Juniper Ash
Juniper Ash has an LRV of 10.13% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.13%, 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.
