What color is RAL Classic Blue lilac?
RAL Classic Blue lilac RAL 4005 is a muted mid-tone purple with a noticeable blue cast, represented here by #76689A. It sits on the cooler side of the spectrum, with enough grayness to keep the violet character from feeling overly bright or sugary. In daylight, Blue lilac can read as a dusty blue-violet, while warmer artificial light may bring out its softer purple side. It is well suited to a bedroom wall, a reading nook, or painted cabinetry where a subdued color statement is wanted. Pair this shade with soft off-whites, charcoal gray, pale oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, grounded scheme.

LRV of Blue lilac
Blue lilac has an LRV of 18.87% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.87%, 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.
