What color is Dulux Stone Green?

Dulux Stone Green 70YY 46/053 is a muted mid-tone neutral with a soft grey-beige base and a restrained yellow-green cast. Its low-key, weathered appearance keeps the green influence subtle rather than leafy or bright. In daylight, this shade can read as a gentle warm grey with an earthy olive note, while lower or warmer light may bring out its beige side. It suits living room walls, hallways, and cabinetry where a grounded color is wanted without a strong statement. Pair Stone Green with chalky off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and charcoal accents for a material-led interior scheme.

What are Dulux Stone Green undertones?

Stone Green is a mid-light, very muted khaki beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

HEX value:

#B6B4A9

RGB code:

182, 180, 169

LRV of Stone Green

Stone Green has an LRV of 45.33% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 45.33%, 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.
