What color is RAL Classic Black brown?

RAL Classic Black brown RAL 8022 is an exceptionally deep near-black with a softly muted charcoal cast. At #1A1719, it reads almost black in low light, while brighter daylight can reveal its subtle, slightly warm dark-gray character. This shade is well suited to exterior metalwork, front doors, window frames, and cabinetry where a strong outline is wanted without the sharper look of pure black. Pair Black brown with pale stone, warm off-whites, natural oak, or brushed brass for contrast and texture. On large interior walls, it is best used in rooms with generous daylight or balanced with lighter flooring and furnishings.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 4.57%, 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.
