What color is Dulux Sea Urchin 1?

Dulux Sea Urchin 1 90GG 19/151 is a mid-depth blue-green with a clearly muted, greyed edge rather than a bright turquoise finish. Its balanced teal character can read a little greener in warm daylight and slightly bluer under cool artificial light. Sea Urchin 1 has enough depth for a full living room or bedroom wall, particularly where pale trim and good natural light keep the room from feeling too shaded. It also makes a grounded choice for painted cabinetry, paired with soft off-whites, weathered oak, stone, brushed nickel, or blackened metal. For contrast, use warm clay, sandy beige, or muted terracotta accents to bring out this shade’s cool green-blue cast.

LRV of Sea Urchin 1

Sea Urchin 1 has an LRV of 15.28% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

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 15.28%, 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.
