What color is Little Greene Mid Lead Colour?

Little Greene Mid Lead Colour 114 is a straightforward mid-tone grey with an even, restrained appearance. Its #8c8c8c value reads as neutral rather than strongly warm or cool, making it useful where a clear grey is wanted without a pronounced color cast. On broad walls, Mid Lead Colour can give a room definition while remaining lighter and less weighty than charcoal shades. Daylight may make it appear cleaner and brighter, while lower evening light can bring out its deeper, more grounded side. Pair it with crisp white trim, blackened metal, pale oak, or natural stone for a composed, architectural look. It suits living rooms, hallways, cabinetry, and exterior details where a measured mid-grey finish is appropriate.

What are Little Greene Mid Lead Colour undertones?

Mid Lead Colour 114 appears as a mid-depth, near-neutral grey with very low saturation, giving it a straightforward, balanced character. In the supplied digital sample, there is no strong visible warm, cool, green, blue, or violet bias, so any undertone reads as subtle rather than definite. The manufacturer source provided does not describe an undertone, so no specific undertone claim can be attributed to Little Greene. Warm artificial light may make this grey seem slightly softer or warmer by comparison, while cool daylight can make it appear crisper and more neutral.

LRV of Mid Lead Colour

Mid Lead Colour has an LRV of 26.41% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 26.41%, 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.
