What color is Little Greene Rolling Fog - Dark?

Little Greene Rolling Fog - Dark 160 is a muted, mid-depth beige with a noticeable grey cast and soft earthy warmth. Its #b1a48a tone sits between taupe and weathered stone, avoiding the yellow pull of many traditional neutrals. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a gentle warm grey-beige, while lower or north-facing light brings out its deeper, dustier character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted without using a pale cream. Pair Rolling Fog - Dark with chalky off-whites, dark brown wood, aged brass, linen upholstery, or charcoal accents for a layered, natural-looking scheme.

What are Little Greene Rolling Fog - Dark undertones?

Rolling Fog - Dark reads as a mid-light, muted beige with a soft khaki-grey character rather than a strong tan or brown. Relative to a neutral beige, the supplied digital sample leans yellow, giving it a gentle warmth while remaining fairly restrained and low in saturation. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its beige-yellow warmth, while cool daylight can make its greyed, neutral side appear more noticeable.

LRV of Rolling Fog - Dark

Rolling Fog - Dark has an LRV of 37.72% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 37.72%, 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.
