What color is Little Greene Etruria?

Little Greene Etruria 326 is a muted blue-grey with a noticeable green cast, sitting at a calm mid-depth rather than reading pale or dark. Its cool character is softened by the grey content, so it feels more restrained than a clear coastal blue. In daylight, Etruria can show its blue-green side more clearly, while warm artificial light tends to draw out its smoky grey base. It suits bathrooms, studies, and north-facing rooms where a measured, grounded color can add definition to the walls. Pair it with soft off-whites, weathered oak, limestone, brushed nickel, or deeper charcoal accents. This shade also has enough weight for painted cabinetry or a front door, especially against pale stone or light neutral render.

What are Little Greene Etruria undertones?

Etruria reads as a midtone, muted teal-blue with a modest green lean and restrained saturation. Its undertone is best understood as a relative green bias within the overall blue-teal color family, not as a separate hidden color. Under warm artificial light, its blue notes may look less crisp and the color may appear slightly warmer, while cool daylight can make the blue-teal character look clearer.

LRV of Etruria

Etruria has an LRV of 19% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 19%, 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.
