LRV – Light Reflective Value
Some of our colour options can be chosen by their LRV – which refers to how light or dark the colour is. The higher the LRV, the lighter the colour – but also the more it will react to light. This can be useful in choosing colours for rooms that do not benefit from much natural light.
