What color is Little Greene Windmill Lane?
Little Greene Windmill Lane 296 is a muted grey-green with a soft, leafy cast and a gently weathered look. Its medium-light depth keeps it present on a wall without making a room feel heavy, while the low saturation gives it a calm, lived-in character. In daylight, Windmill Lane reads as an understated green; under warmer evening lighting, its grey and slightly olive notes become more noticeable. It suits kitchens, studies, hallways, and garden-facing rooms, especially on cabinetry or full walls. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and deeper charcoal or forest-green accents for contrast.

What are Little Greene Windmill Lane undertones?
Windmill Lane reads as a midtone, very muted green with a soft greyed quality rather than a strong or vivid color. In the supplied digital sample, the visible bias leans slightly yellow-green, though the undertone is subtle and should be treated as a relative impression rather than a fixed fact. Little Greene’s official undertone description was not available in the provided source, so no manufacturer claim can be confirmed here. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-green cast, while cool daylight can make its greyed green character appear a little clearer.

LRV of Windmill Lane
Windmill Lane has an LRV of 29% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
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 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.
