With its beautifully balanced mix of red and blue undertones, this cool, muted shade brings a sense of calm and depth to any space. Its low Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 6.39 means it absorbs most light, making it an excellent choice for creating cozy, moody interiors or highlighting architectural details. Hunter Green pairs effortlessly with other balanced shades and works particularly well in traditional or transitional settings where its strong presence can truly shine.

Is Hunter Green a warm or cool color?

Hunter Green’s hue value of 162° shows which color family Hunter Green belongs to, placing it in the cool color range with a noticeable, but balanced, green presence.

Hunter Green LRV

Light Reflectance Value (LRV) is a measurement, expressed as a percentage from 0 to 100, that indicates how much light a color reflects. An LRV of 0 means the color absorbs all light (pure black), while an LRV of 100 means the color reflects all light (pure white).

In practical terms, lighter colors with higher LRVs make spaces feel brighter and more open, while darker colors with lower LRVs create a more intimate, cozy atmosphere by absorbing more light.

Hunter Green’s LRV of 6.39 means it reflects only a small amount of light—just 6.39%—and absorbs most of the light that hits it. This makes it a very dark color that will naturally make a space feel more enclosed, cozy, or dramatic. Colors with such low LRVs are often used to create moody interiors, accent walls, or to highlight architectural features because they add depth and richness without bouncing much light around the room.

How Natural Light Direction Changes a Color:

The way a color looks can really change depending on where the natural light is coming from:

• North-facing: The light here is cool and soft with a slight blue tint. It pretty much stays the same all day.
• East-facing: You’ll get warm, golden sunlight in the morning, but by midday, it starts to feel more neutral.
• South-facing: This light is warm and steady all day long, with a soft yellow glow. It’s usually brightest around noon.
• West-facing: The afternoon and evening bring rich, warm light with cozy orange and red tones, perfect for a dramatic vibe.

Do Light Bulbs Affect How Paint Colors Look?

Absolutely. Just like natural light, artificial lighting changes how paint appears. The color temperature of your light bulbs—measured in Kelvins (K)—plays a big role.

• Lower K (2700K–3000K) = warm, yellow light (soft white)
• Higher K (4000K–5000K+) = cool, white to bluish light (bright/daylight)

Choosing the right bulb can make a big difference in how your paint color looks on the wall.

I recommend using these types of light bulbs.
