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.

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 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.
