What color is Little Greene Pleat?
Little Greene Pleat 280 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable grey cast, giving it a grounded, slightly weathered appearance rather than a bright teal finish. Its mid-depth value makes it substantial enough for cabinetry, a study, or a dining room wall, while still feeling softer than a deep forest green. In cooler daylight, Pleat can read more blue and mineral-like; warmer lamps tend to draw out its quieter green side. Pair it with chalky off-whites, pale stone, warm oak, aged brass, or blackened steel for contrast. On exterior joinery or a front door, this shade has enough depth to hold its own against brick, limestone, and natural planting.

LRV of Pleat
Pleat has an LRV of 19% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 19%, 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.
