What color is Little Greene Mushroom?

Little Greene Mushroom 142 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm, softly sandy cast. Its low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading overly yellow, while the hint of warmth prevents it feeling stark or grey. In bright daylight, Mushroom can look like a pale oatmeal neutral; under warmer evening lighting, its beige and subtle tan notes become more apparent. It is well suited to living-room and bedroom walls where a quiet, light-reflecting neutral is wanted without the crispness of off-white. Pair it with chalky whites, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and deeper brown or clay accents for a layered, grounded scheme.

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 56.02%, 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.
