What color is RAL Classic Brown grey?
RAL Classic Brown grey RAL 7013 is a deep, muted brown-grey with an earthy olive cast visible beneath its low-saturation surface. The #575044 tone feels grounded rather than heavy, reading warmer in afternoon light and a little more charcoal-grey in cooler daylight. It suits exterior cladding, garden-facing doors, and cabinetry where a dark neutral is wanted without the starkness of black. Pair Brown grey with warm off-whites, sand-colored plaster, aged brass, oak, or weathered stone to bring out its natural character. On larger walls, good lighting and lighter surrounding finishes help preserve its subtle depth.
LRV of Brown grey
Brown grey has an LRV of 10.6% 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 10.6%, 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.
