What color is Dulux Willow Tree?

Dulux Willow Tree is a pale, muted green with a soft grey cast and a gentle yellow-green undertone. Its light value keeps walls feeling open, while the low saturation prevents it from reading too minty or sharp. In daylight, Willow Tree can appear like a quiet leafy green; under warm lamps, its yellow note becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, and living rooms, particularly alongside warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, and woven natural-fibre textures. For contrast, pair this shade with deep olive, charcoal, or a restrained clay-toned accent.

LRV of Willow Tree

Willow Tree has an LRV of 67% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 67%, 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.
