What color is RAL Classic Claret violet?
RAL Classic Claret violet RAL 4004 is a deep, red-leaning violet with a dark wine-like character. Its #651E38 value gives it a substantial, saturated appearance, where muted crimson and plum notes sit beneath the shadowy base. In bright natural light, Claret violet can reveal more of its red-violet richness, while lower light makes it appear fuller and closer to a near-black berry tone. It is especially effective on a dining room feature wall, a study, or painted cabinetry where its depth can be appreciated up close. Pair this color with warm off-whites, dusty pinks, walnut wood, aged brass, or charcoal accents for a grounded interior scheme.

LRV of Claret violet
Claret violet has an LRV of 7.18% 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 7.18%, 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.
