What color is Dulux Mountain Moss?
Dulux Mountain Moss 70YY 27/418 is a muted yellow-green with an earthy olive cast, sitting at a medium-dark depth. Its softened, slightly dusty character keeps the color grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective for cabinetry, a study, or a dining-room feature wall. In strong daylight, its yellow undertone can come forward, while lower or warmer light tends to emphasize its deeper olive-brown side. Pair Mountain Moss with chalky off-whites, warm clay tones, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a considered, material-led interior.

LRV of Mountain Moss
Mountain Moss has an LRV of 26% 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 26%, 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.
