What color is Dulux Mellow Mocha?

Dulux Mellow Mocha 50YR 64/045 is a light, muted neutral with a soft beige base and a subtle rosy cast. Its pale depth keeps it airy on broad walls, while the low saturation prevents it from reading overly pink or brown. In warm daylight, Mellow Mocha can appear gently creamy; under cooler artificial light, its greyed quality becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a warmer alternative to pale grey is wanted. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or deep olive accents for contrast.

Mellow Mocha is a light, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Mellow Mocha

Mellow Mocha has an LRV of 64% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 64%, 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.
