What color is Little Greene Tuscan Red?
Little Greene Tuscan Red 140 is a deep, earthy red with a clear brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its warm, muted character can read as clay-like in daylight, while lower light brings out its richer wine-red depth. Use Tuscan Red on a dining room wall, library shelving, or painted cabinetry where its density can anchor the room. It pairs well with warm off-whites, soft putty neutrals, aged brass, dark wood, and natural linen. For a smaller dose, this color gives interior doors, a fireplace surround, or exterior trim a substantial, considered presence.

What are Little Greene Tuscan Red undertones?
Tuscan Red is a deep, muted red with clear color presence rather than a dark neutral look. Relative to a more balanced red, the supplied digital sample leans slightly warm, with a subtle yellow-brown bias that gives it an earthy, brick-like character. Warm artificial light may bring out more of that warmth, while cool daylight can make the red appear a little cleaner or less brown, depending on the surrounding surfaces.

LRV of Tuscan Red
Tuscan Red has an LRV of 9.73% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.73%, 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.
