How Boxwood behaves on a wall

Our estimate, worked out from the hex colour, puts the light reflectance value of this Dunn-Edwards shade at about 18.8; Dunn-Edwards's own figure may differ. At an estimated LRV of 18.8 this is a dark shade. It absorbs far more light than it gives back, which reads as depth in a bright room and as gloom in a north-facing one. Expect to prime if you are covering something much lighter. For trim that reads as a clear edge rather than a smudge, aim about 30 LRV points away — roughly LRV 49 and up. Its red and blue channels are within a few points of each other, so it has no undertone worth naming — it takes its cast from whatever it sits beside. Order by the code, not the name, and put a test patch on the wall before you commit — a screen cannot show you how this shade behaves in your own light.
