What color is Little Greene Dock Blue?
Little Greene Dock Blue 252 is a deep, muted blue with a charcoal cast that gives it a grounded, architectural look. Its cool blue-grey character is clear in daylight, while lower light brings out its near-slate depth. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, or interior doors where a dark color can add definition without reading as black. Pale stone, soft off-white, brushed nickel, and natural oak provide a clean contrast, while aged brass adds a warmer note. On larger walls, Dock Blue benefits from good natural light or layered lamps to keep its blue tone visible.

LRV of Dock Blue
Dock Blue has an LRV of 4% 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 4%, 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.
