What color is Little Greene Aquamarine?
Little Greene Aquamarine 138 is a muted, pale green with a soft grey cast that keeps it understated rather than bright. Its low-saturation appearance gives walls a gently weathered, chalky look, while the green remains clear enough to bring natural color into a room. In daylight, it can read as a light leafy sage; under warmer artificial light, its greyed quality may become more noticeable. Aquamarine suits kitchens, bedrooms, and quiet living spaces, particularly on broad wall areas or painted cabinetry. Pair it with off-white trim, warm oak, woven linen, aged brass, or deeper olive accents for a grounded scheme.
LRV of Aquamarine
Aquamarine has an LRV of 43% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 43%, 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.
