What color is RAL Classic Cleanroom white?
RAL Classic Cleanroom white RAL 9012 is a soft off-white with a noticeable creamy, yellow-beige cast rather than a stark blue-white appearance. Its high lightness keeps rooms bright, while the #F8F2E1 value gives it a gently warmed, slightly muted surface. In daylight it reads as a clean pale ivory; under warm bulbs, the cream undertone becomes more pronounced. Cleanroom white suits broad wall areas, ceilings, and painted cabinetry where a pure white might feel too sharp. Pair it with pale oak, warm limestone, brushed brass, camel textiles, or muted olive accents for a grounded interior palette.
LRV of Cleanroom white
Cleanroom white has an LRV of 88.75% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 88.75%, 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.
