Little Falls

1621

Little Falls is a mid-tone blue-gray with balanced cool undertones - neither strongly blue nor purely neutral. At an LRV of 41.07, it absorbs more light than it reflects, placing it in the medium range where it reads as a definite color rather than a light neutral. The gray component keeps it grounded, while the blue gives it a quiet directional lean.

White Dove or Simply White provide clean contrast for trim. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal deepen the palette, and Silver Lake or Nimbus Gray extend the tonal range.

Little Falls in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
