What color is Little Greene Tracery II?

Little Greene Tracery II 78 is a muted, light mid-tone with a soft olive-grey cast and a noticeable yellowed undertone. Its low saturation keeps it understated on broad walls, where it reads as a gently weathered neutral rather than a distinct green. In cooler daylight, Tracery II can appear more grey and restrained, while warm lamps bring forward its earthy, khaki-like warmth. It suits studies, hallways, kitchens, and living rooms that need more depth than an off-white without moving into a dark shade. Pair it with chalky whites, warm stone, aged brass, natural oak, and linen upholstery, or use it on cabinetry for a quiet contrast against pale walls.

What are Little Greene Tracery II undertones?

Tracery II is a mid-light, muted yellow-based neutral with a soft greyed character rather than a strong, bright colour. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly green as well as yellow, so it can read as a subdued olive-grey or khaki-toned neutral depending on its surroundings. No manufacturer undertone description was provided, so this assessment is based only on the visible digital colour sample. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellowed, earthy side, while cool daylight may make its grey-green cast easier to notice.

LRV of Tracery II

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