What color is RAL Classic Anthracite grey?
RAL Classic Anthracite grey RAL 7016 is a deep charcoal gray with a restrained cool, blue-gray cast. Its dark value gives walls, doors, or cabinetry a firm architectural presence without reading as flat black. In bright daylight, this shade can show more of its smoky blue undertone, while lower light makes it appear denser and nearer to charcoal. Pair Anthracite grey with warm white, pale oak, brushed steel, or terracotta-toned textiles to create useful contrast. It is especially effective on exterior trim, window frames, built-in storage, and accent walls where a strong dark neutral is wanted.

LRV of Anthracite grey
Anthracite grey has an LRV of 8.07% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 8.07%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
