What color is Dulux Pressed Putty?
Dulux Pressed Putty 90YR 48/062 is a muted mid-light neutral that sits between beige and soft grey, with a gentle rosy-brown cast visible beneath its chalky surface. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet rather than yellow or overtly pink, making it a grounded option for larger wall areas. In bright daylight, Pressed Putty can read as a pale, warm putty tone, while lower or cooler light brings forward its greyed, slightly mauve undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where white trim, linen upholstery, oak, aged brass, and natural stone can add texture without competing. Use this shade on walls or painted cabinetry alongside off-whites and deeper mushroom browns for a layered neutral scheme.
LRV of Pressed Putty
Pressed Putty has an LRV of 48% 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 48%, 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.
