What color is Little Greene Bone China Blue?

Little Greene Bone China Blue 107 is a light, muted blue-grey with a softly cool cast and low, dusty saturation. Its balanced mix of blue and grey keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright, making it especially useful for broad wall areas in bedrooms, bathrooms, and quieter living spaces. In clear daylight, the blue notes become more noticeable, while lower or warmer light can draw out its gentle grey character. Pair Bone China Blue with chalky off-whites, deep charcoal details, pale oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, grounded scheme. It also suits painted cabinetry or interior woodwork where a restrained wash of color is wanted.

What are Little Greene Bone China Blue undertones?

Bone China Blue 107 reads as a mid-light, very muted blue-green with a soft grey cast rather than a strong or vivid blue. In the supplied digital sample, the slight teal direction suggests a subtle green-blue bias, though that undertone is understated and can shift in appearance with surrounding conditions. Little Greene’s official undertone description was not available in the provided source, so no manufacturer undertone claim can be confirmed here. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its grey-green side, while cool daylight can make the blue-green character appear clearer.

LRV of Bone China Blue

Bone China Blue 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 scale illustration

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.
