Light Reflectance Value

Light Reflectance Value

Light Reflectance Value, or LRV, is a measurement commonly used in interior decorating and design, which expresses the percentage of light that is reflected from a surface.

LRV is frequently included on the backs of paint chips or samples and is also used by lighting designers to calculate the number and type of light fixtures needed to give a certain amount of light for interior spaces.
