What color is Little Greene Scree?

Little Greene Scree 227 is a deep, muted grey with a subtle green cast visible in its balanced #595a57 base. It reads as a grounded mid-to-dark neutral rather than a stark charcoal, with low saturation that keeps the finish soft and earthy. In bright daylight, its green-grey undertone may become more apparent, while lower light makes it appear closer to a smoky graphite. Use Scree on cabinetry, a study wall, or exterior woodwork where its depth can define architectural details without looking black. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, stone, and muted clay tones for a material-led scheme.

What are Little Greene Scree undertones?

LRV of Scree

Scree has an LRV of 15% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15%, 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.
