What color is Little Greene Chemise?

Little Greene Chemise 139 is a very pale blush-toned white with a soft pink warmth visible beneath its high-lightness finish. The color feels gentle rather than sugary, with low saturation that keeps it close to an off-white on large walls. In bright daylight, Chemise can read as a barely tinted white, while lower or cooler light brings out its muted rosy cast. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and softly layered living rooms, particularly alongside natural linen, pale oak, warm white trim, and brushed brass. For more definition, pair this shade with dusty terracotta accents, deep burgundy textiles, or charcoal detailing.

What are Little Greene Chemise undertones?

Chemise 139 reads as a very light, softly muted off-white with a faint pink-beige cast rather than a crisp white. The supplied digital sample has only a subtle, low-confidence warm bias, leaning slightly red and yellow, so its undertone is best treated as gentle rather than distinct. Little Greene’s official undertone description was not available in the provided source, so no manufacturer claim can be confirmed here. Warm artificial light may bring out its faint rosy-beige warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and closer to a pale neutral.

LRV of Chemise

Chemise has an LRV of 83.58% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 83.58%, 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.
