What color is Dulux Lucky Penny?
Dulux Lucky Penny 90YR 16/129 is a muted mid-to-dark brown with a noticeable gray cast, giving it the look of softened, weathered earth rather than a crisp chocolate tone. Its warm base keeps the color from reading cold, while the restrained saturation makes it especially usable in rooms with natural wood, stone, or linen textures. In bright daylight, Lucky Penny can appear lighter and more taupe-brown; under warm evening lighting, its deeper brown character comes forward. Use it on a study wall, dining-room cabinetry, or an exterior door where a grounded neutral is wanted without turning fully charcoal. Pair it with chalky off-whites, sandy beiges, aged brass, blackened metal, and medium oak for a layered, natural finish.

LRV of Lucky Penny
Lucky Penny has an LRV of 21% 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 21%, 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.
