What color is Dulux Midnight Teal?
Dulux Midnight Teal 90BG 11/101 is a dark, muted blue-green with a noticeable slate-grey cast. Its low-saturation finish keeps the color grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective for a study, dining room, or dramatic hallway. In clear daylight, the blue tone is more apparent, while warmer or lower lighting can draw out its smoky grey depth. Use Midnight Teal on cabinetry, a feature wall, or interior doors alongside pale stone, soft off-whites, weathered oak, and brushed nickel. It can also give black-painted details a less stark, more nuanced alternative.

LRV of Midnight Teal
Midnight Teal has an LRV of 9.27% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.27%, 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.
