Flint Arrow

Dulux

The Analysis

Flint Arrow is a mid-tone, greyed-out green that absorbs light rather than reflecting it, making a room feel intimate and grounded. With an LRV of 29.25, it is relatively dark, so it works best to create a cozy, enclosed atmosphere rather than a bright, airy one.

It acts as a sophisticated neutral, perfect for a main wall in a study, library, or bedroom where you want to minimize visual noise. It isn't a bold accent, but rather a structured foundation for a room's color palette.

LRV 29

History & Origin

This color fits well within a modern heritage aesthetic, bridging the gap between traditional earth tones and contemporary, desaturated palettes. It lacks the starkness of pure modern grey, giving it a more established, timeless feel.

How to Use It

Use this in rooms with plenty of natural light or artificial task lighting to prevent it from feeling muddy. Pair it with warm wood tones like walnut or oak and matte black hardware to ground the space.

The Mood

This shade is inherently restful because it mimics muted, natural tones found in stone and foliage. It offers a stable, balanced backdrop that feels calm and professional rather than overly stimulating.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
