Minted Glory 1

Dulux

The Analysis

Minted Glory 1 is a deep, saturated forest green with a low Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 6.54, meaning it absorbs most light rather than reflecting it. This creates a cozy, enclosed atmosphere that can make a large room feel more intimate or a small room feel purposefully dramatic.

This is a bold choice that works best as a statement wall, in a dedicated library, or as a moody color-drenched bedroom. It is too dark to serve as a neutral backdrop for an entire house, as it will significantly darken your floor space.

LRV 7

History & Origin

It leans into the Heritage aesthetic, reminiscent of the traditional dark-paneled libraries and dens found in Victorian and Edwardian homes. It brings a sophisticated, timeless weight to a space rather than a contemporary minimalist feel.

How to Use It

Pair this with warm, honey-toned woods or unlacquered brass to prevent the room from feeling too cold. Matte black hardware looks sharp against it, while crisp, bright white trims are essential to keep the edges of the room defined.

The Mood

Living with this shade feels grounded and restful. It provides a serious, stable backdrop that minimizes visual clutter, making it excellent for areas where you want to focus or unwind.

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.
