What color is Little Greene China Clay ?
Little Greene China Clay 1 is a pale, softly warmed off-white with a subtle cream and peach-beige cast. Its light value keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the low saturation gives it a gently softened appearance. In north-facing rooms, China Clay can look more neutral and muted; in warm daylight or under incandescent lighting, its creamy undertone becomes clearer. Use it across living room, bedroom, or hallway walls where a quiet, light backdrop is wanted, pairing it with natural oak, linen, pale stone, and muted clay-toned accents. It can also suit cabinetry when a crisp white finish would feel too sharp.

LRV of China Clay
China Clay has an LRV of 85.93% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?
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 85.93%, 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.
