What color is Little Greene Pearl Colour - Dark?

Little Greene Pearl Colour - Dark 169 is a light, muted grey-green with a soft, mineral cast. Its restrained green note is tempered by a gentle grey quality, keeping the color calm rather than overtly botanical. In bright daylight, Pearl Colour - Dark can read as a pale, slightly cool green, while lower or warmer light brings its greyed, subtly earthy side forward. It is well suited to bedroom and living-room walls where a low-contrast backdrop is wanted, and it also gives painted cabinetry a quiet, softened finish. Pair this color with off-white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen, or deeper charcoal-green accents for definition.

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 53.56%, 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.
