What color is Dulux Moon Shimmer?

Dulux Moon Shimmer is a very light off-white with a soft creamy-yellow cast, rather than a stark paper-white look. Its high brightness keeps walls feeling open, while the slight warmth takes the edge off cool daylight. In north-facing rooms, Moon Shimmer may read as a gentle pale ivory, while warmer evening light can bring out its subtle buttery quality. It is well suited to main walls, ceilings, and quiet bedroom or living-room schemes where a clean but less clinical neutral is wanted. Pair it with pale oak, warm white trim, linen upholstery, or muted sage and clay accents for a grounded, natural finish.

LRV of Moon Shimmer

Moon Shimmer has an LRV of 94% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 94%, 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.
