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.
