What color is Little Greene Obsidian Green?
Little Greene Obsidian Green 216 is an extremely deep green that sits close to black, with a restrained, low-saturation character. Its #132019 value shows a subtle green presence rather than a blue-black or warm brown-black cast. In bright daylight, the green becomes more readable; under low or warm artificial light, it can appear almost black. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, built-in shelving, or a small room where a dark envelope is wanted. Pair Obsidian Green with chalky off-whites, pale stone, aged brass, blackened metal, and natural oak for contrast and texture.

What are Little Greene Obsidian Green undertones?
Obsidian Green reads as a near-black, deeply muted green with very little visible saturation. In the supplied digital sample, its subtle relative bias leans slightly yellow-green rather than blue-green, but this is difficult to separate clearly at such a dark depth. Warm artificial light may bring out a little more of the yellow-green cast, while cool daylight may keep it looking darker and closer to a neutral deep green.

LRV of Obsidian Green
Obsidian Green has an LRV of 5% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 5%, 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.
