What is that (LRV) number on the back of the sample of paint? It means Light Reflective Value

 

LRV is a term used to measure the amount of visible light that a color reflects. Words used by professionals but can be a helpful reference point when you’re torn between choices. Let’s say you have two samples of ‘greige’, and one’s LRV is 44 (BM Silver fox) whereas (BM Nimbus) is 59. It’s close, but the 44 will be a little darker. In other words, the higher the number, the brighter/lighter the color. The LRV value is represented as a percentage with pure black being 0% and pure white being 100%.

Client Endorsement

Many thanks again for all of the great information and advice that you gave us. It is empowering to look at your home from the perspective of being a seller. Or, in my case, of preparing to be a seller just in case something in my life changes that forces me to become a seller. One thing I know now is that I am nowhere near ready to move.
Take care and enjoy the almost Spring weather.

Shock? I could not believe my living room/dining room could look so good. I now have more floor space and the rooms are balanced.

Creatively “out of the box” thinking. I was a little skeptical, but now I’m a believer.
