What color is Little Greene Bassoon?
Little Greene Bassoon 336 is a muted golden tan with a gentle ochre cast, sitting between warm beige and softened honey. Its mid-depth value gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel dark or overly yellow. In daylight, it can read as a sandy, sun-warmed neutral, while evening lighting brings out its deeper caramel-brown side. Bassoon suits dining rooms, studies, hallways, and kitchen cabinetry where a grounded warmth is welcome. Pair it with chalky off-whites, deep olive greens, aged brass, oak, rattan, or natural linen for a layered, material-led interior.

What are Little Greene Bassoon undertones?
Bassoon reads as a mid-light, softened golden yellow with a clear but not overly vivid color presence. Relative to a cleaner yellow, it has a slight warm, reddish bias that gives it an ochre-like cast rather than a lemony look. Warm artificial light may bring out its golden warmth, while cool daylight can make the yellow appear a little more restrained and muted.

LRV of Bassoon
Bassoon has an LRV of 35% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 35%, 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.
