What color is Little Greene Middle Buff?
Little Greene Middle Buff 122 is a rich, earthy ochre with a clear golden-orange cast and a gently browned base. Its mid-depth tone gives walls noticeable color without reading as overly dark, especially in rooms with good daylight. In brighter light, the warm amber notes come forward; under softer evening lighting, it settles into a deeper, more burnished brown. Middle Buff suits dining rooms, hallways, kitchens, or a small study, and it can bring welcome weight to cabinetry or a painted front door. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm clay neutrals, dark wood, aged brass, and natural linen for a grounded, material-led scheme.
LRV of Middle Buff
Middle Buff has an LRV of 20.58% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 20.58%, 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.
