What color is Little Greene Normandy Grey?

Little Greene Normandy Grey 79 is a muted mid-tone grey with a noticeable olive-khaki cast, reflected in its softened #a0a07d colour value. It reads warmer than a blue-grey, yet remains restrained enough to give walls a grounded, lightly weathered appearance. In bright daylight, the greenish yellow undertone becomes clearer, while lower light can make this shade appear more subdued and stone-like. Use it on living room or hallway walls with warm white trim, natural oak, linen, and aged brass for a calm, material-led scheme. Normandy Grey also suits kitchen cabinetry or a painted exterior door when paired with off-white brick, pale limestone, or deep charcoal details.

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 43%, 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.
