What color is Little Greene Portland Stone - Pale?

Little Greene Portland Stone - Pale 155 is a softly muted off-white with a clear warm stone cast, sitting between pale beige and gentle grey. Its low saturation keeps it understated rather than creamy, making it a useful wall color where a stark white would feel too sharp. In daylight, the subtle yellow-beige undertone is more apparent, while lower or cooler light can draw out its quieter greyed quality. Portland Stone - Pale suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms, particularly alongside natural oak, limestone, linen, and aged brass. Pair it with chalky whites for a light layered scheme or deeper earthy neutrals to give the pale backdrop more 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 78.24%, 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.
