What color is Little Greene Bronze Red?

Little Greene Bronze Red 15 is a deep, earthy red with a pronounced brown cast, giving it the appearance of aged brick or dark dried clay. Its low-light value makes it read as substantial rather than bright, with a muted saturation that keeps the red grounded. In daylight, this shade can show its warm red character more clearly, while evening light draws out its darker, near-oxblood depth. Use Bronze Red on a dining-room wall, a snug, or painted cabinetry where a strong, enclosing color feels appropriate. It pairs especially well with warm off-whites, natural oak, antique brass, terracotta, and dark charcoal details.

What are Little Greene Bronze Red undertones?

Bronze Red 15 is a deep, muted red with strong saturation and a noticeably brown-leaning cast rather than a bright scarlet character. In the supplied digital sample, its red family reads slightly warm, with a subtle yellow bias that can make it appear closer to brick or oxblood than to a blue-red. Little Greene’s official undertone description was not available here, so no manufacturer undertone claim can be confirmed. Warm artificial light may bring out its warmer, earthier side, while cool daylight can make the red appear a little darker and less warm.

LRV of Bronze Red

Bronze Red has an LRV of 4.89% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 4.89%, 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.
