What color is Little Greene French Grey - Mid?

Little Greene French Grey - Mid 162 is a light, muted grey with a noticeable softened beige-yellow cast that keeps it from reading stark or blue. Its low-saturation finish gives walls a gently chalky, understated appearance, especially in rooms with natural wood and textured fabrics. In bright daylight, this color can look clean and pale, while lower or warmer light brings out its creamier side. French Grey - Mid suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and kitchen cabinetry where a quiet neutral is wanted without the sharpness of a cooler grey. Pair it with off-white trim, linen, oak, stone, and darker charcoal details for contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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).
