What color is Little Greene Slaked Lime Mid?
Little Greene Slaked Lime Mid 149 is a pale, muted beige with a soft creamy cast and a gentle warmth. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading yellow, giving walls a lightly chalky, softened appearance instead. In daylight, this color appears airy and understated, while warmer artificial lighting can draw out its biscuit-like undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and ceilings where a quiet neutral is wanted without the coolness of grey. Pair Slaked Lime Mid with natural oak, linen, aged brass, warm white trim, or deeper earthy browns for a layered, grounded scheme.

What are Little Greene Slaked Lime Mid undertones?
This is a very light, muted off-white with a soft yellow-beige cast rather than a stark white appearance. The supplied digital sample has only a subtle, low-confidence warm bias, so its undertone is best understood as a slight relative lean toward yellow rather than a strong defining color. In warm artificial light, that gentle warmth may read a little more noticeable, while cool daylight may make the color appear cleaner and closer to neutral.

LRV of Slaked Lime Mid
Slaked Lime Mid has an LRV of 73.49% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 73.49%, 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.
