What color is Little Greene Tabernacle?

Little Greene Tabernacle 308 is a light, muted green with a gentle grey cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its soft yellow-green base gives it a mild warmth, while the restrained saturation makes it feel quiet and chalky on broad walls. In daylight, Tabernacle can appear fresher and slightly greener; under warmer artificial light, its subdued olive notes become more noticeable. It suits kitchens, bedrooms, and garden-facing rooms, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this color with deeper moss greens, soft charcoal, or earthy terracotta accents.

What are Little Greene Tabernacle undertones?

Tabernacle 308 appears to be a light, muted green with a soft yellow-green cast and low saturation. Its visible undertone reads as a slight yellow bias within the green family, rather than a strong blue or grey influence. Because no official undertone description was available from Little Greene, this assessment is based on the supplied digital color sample rather than a manufacturer claim. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-green side, while cooler daylight can make it look a little cleaner and less warm.

LRV of Tabernacle

Tabernacle has an LRV of 54% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 54%, 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.
