What color is Little Greene Mischief?
Little Greene Mischief 13 is a deep raspberry-rose with a clear magenta cast, sitting between red and pink rather than reading as a conventional burgundy. Its medium-dark depth gives it presence on walls, while the saturated colour keeps it from feeling flat. Warm lighting draws out its redder side, whereas daylight can make the pink-purple edge more noticeable. Use Mischief in a dining room, powder room, or on painted cabinetry where a concentrated colour is welcome. It looks especially good with soft plaster whites, warm neutrals, dark stained wood, brushed brass, and muted olive or grey-green accents.

What are Little Greene Mischief undertones?
Mischief is a midtone, strongly saturated pink-red with a clear, lively presence. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly warm rather than blue, giving the red a faint yellow-leaning bias while still reading primarily as a deep rosy pink. Little Greene’s official undertone description was not available, so no manufacturer undertone claim can be confirmed here. Warm artificial light may make its warmer red notes appear more noticeable, while cool daylight can make the pink-red character look a little cleaner or crisper.

LRV of Mischief
Mischief has an LRV of 11.74% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.74%, 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.
