What color is Little Greene Slaked Lime?

Little Greene Slaked Lime 105 is a very pale off-white with a soft grey-green cast, rather than a creamy or stark white appearance. Its high lightness keeps walls looking open, while the muted undertone gives the color a slightly mineral, chalky character. In daylight, it reads as a clean, lightly cooled neutral; under warmer lamps, it becomes gentler without turning noticeably yellow. Use it across living room or bedroom walls for a quiet backdrop to oak, limestone, linen, and brushed nickel. Slaked Lime also suits cabinetry or trim when a bright white would feel too sharp against natural materials.

What are Little Greene Slaked Lime undertones?

This is a very light, low-saturation near-white with an overall soft off-white character. In the supplied digital sample, the color reads close to neutral, with only a very slight yellow-green direction that is too weak to support a confident undertone label. It should generally stay understated rather than clearly creamy, green, or grey. Warm artificial light may make its faint yellow influence more noticeable, while cool daylight may make it appear cleaner and more neutral.

LRV of Slaked Lime

Slaked Lime has an LRV of 87.29% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all lightWhy 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 87.29%, 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.
