What color is Dulux Vivid White?

Dulux Vivid White SW1G1 is a very light, low-saturation white with a faint softened cast visible beside brighter, bluer whites. Its near-white value keeps walls looking clean and open without feeling stark. In daylight, the subtle nuance is most noticeable, while warmer evening lighting can make the shade read gentler and less crisp. Use it across walls, ceilings, and trim for a quiet, cohesive finish, or on cabinetry where a softer alternative to pure white is wanted. Pair it with pale oak, light stone, brushed nickel, charcoal, or muted green-gray accents.

What are Dulux Vivid White undertones?

Vivid White is a near-white, near-neutral neutral off-white. Its chroma is so low that assigning a specific hue-based undertone would be misleading. Because it is close to neutral, nearby surfaces and the color of the light can noticeably change how warm or cool it appears.

LRV of Vivid White

Vivid White has an LRV of 93.41% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 93.41%, 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.
