What color is Little Greene Carmine?

Little Greene Carmine 189 is a mid-depth rosy red with a softened coral cast, shown here as #d5666c. Its red base keeps the color lively, while the muted pink quality prevents it from reading as overly bright or sugary. In strong daylight, Carmine can appear clearer and more floral; under warmer evening lighting, it is likely to take on a deeper, earthier red presence. Use it on a dining-room wall, a painted door, or kitchen cabinetry where a confident color can carry the scheme. Pair this shade with warm white, pale plaster tones, natural oak, aged brass, or deep charcoal for contrast.

LRV of Carmine

Carmine has an LRV of 24.75% 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 24.75%, 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.
