What color is Little Greene Boringdon Green?

Little Greene Boringdon Green 295 is a muted grey-green with a soft olive cast, giving it an understated, lightly weathered appearance. Its pale-to-mid depth keeps it gentle on large walls, where it can read cooler and greyer in shadow but show more of its yellow-green undertone in warm daylight. Use it in a kitchen, utility room, or bedroom for color without the visual weight of a deeper green. Boringdon Green pairs particularly well with chalky off-whites, warm putty neutrals, natural oak, aged brass, and stone surfaces. It also has enough presence for painted cabinetry or interior woodwork when a quiet contrast is wanted.

What are Little Greene Boringdon Green undertones?

Boringdon Green is a mid-light, muted yellow-green with a soft greyed character rather than a strong, vivid green. In the supplied digital sample, it reads as green with a noticeable yellow bias, which can make it feel slightly warmer and more olive-leaning than a blue-green. Little Greene’s official undertone description was not available, so no manufacturer undertone claim can be confirmed here. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellowed, olive cast, while cool daylight can make the green aspect appear a little clearer.

LRV of Boringdon Green

Boringdon Green has an LRV of 38% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 38%, 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.
