What color is Little Greene Pearl Colour - Mid?
Little Greene Pearl Colour - Mid 168 is a pale, low-saturation gray-green with a soft, lightly cool cast. Its muted green undertone keeps it from reading like a plain off-white, while the high lightness gives walls an airy, gently shaded appearance. In bright daylight, Pearl Colour - Mid can appear cleaner and more silvery; under warmer lamps, its green-gray character becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces, especially alongside natural oak, linen, pale stone, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper charcoal, muted olive, or warm clay accents rather than stark black.

What are Little Greene Pearl Colour - Mid undertones?
This is a near-white, very muted shade with a soft yellow-green cast in the supplied digital sample. Its undertone is subtle rather than strongly defined, so it can read as a lightly warmed off-white with a faint green influence rather than a clear green paint. Because no official manufacturer undertone description is available here, this assessment is based only on the provided digital color sample. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellowed warmth, while cool daylight may make its slight green cast more noticeable.

LRV of Pearl Colour - Mid
Pearl Colour - Mid has an LRV of 74.22% and refers to Off‑White 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 74.22%, 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.
