What color is Dulux Overtly Olive?
Dulux Overtly Olive 70YY 43/113 is a muted mid-tone olive with a softened yellow-beige cast, shown here as #B1AC96. Its low-key, slightly greyed appearance keeps the color earthy rather than vivid, making it well suited to larger wall areas. In bright daylight, the warm khaki notes are likely to read more clearly, while lower or cooler light can bring out its subdued grey-olive side. Try it in a study, hallway, or kitchen alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen, aged brass, and deep charcoal details. It can also give painted cabinetry a grounded, gently weathered look without becoming too dark.

LRV of Overtly Olive
Overtly Olive has an LRV of 40.82% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 40.82%, 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.
