What color is Little Greene Córdoba?
Little Greene Córdoba 277 is a deep, muted red-brown with a gentle plum cast that keeps it from reading as a straightforward chocolate shade. Its low brightness gives walls a close, enveloping appearance, while the restrained saturation prevents it from feeling overly dramatic. In bright natural light, Córdoba can reveal its dusty wine-red undertone; under warm lamps, it settles into a softer, earthier brown-red. It is especially effective in dining rooms, studies, hallways, or on cabinetry where a dark color can add definition without looking black. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, walnut, worn leather, and pale stone for a grounded interior palette.
LRV of Córdoba
Córdoba has an LRV of 5% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 5%, 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.
