What color is RAL Classic Broom yellow?

RAL Classic Broom yellow RAL 1032 is a rich, saturated golden yellow with a clear warm cast. Its #E2A300 color value gives it more depth than a pale sunny yellow, so it reads as bold and grounded rather than delicate. In bright daylight, Broom yellow appears clean and lively; under warmer artificial light, its golden character becomes more pronounced. Use it on a painted door, kitchen cabinetry, dining chairs, or a single accent wall where its intensity can be appreciated. Pair this color with soft off-whites, charcoal gray, deep navy, or natural oak to give the yellow a defined setting.

LRV of Broom yellow

Broom yellow has an LRV of 43.37% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 43.37%, 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.
