What color is RAL Classic Daffodil yellow?

RAL Classic Daffodil yellow RAL 1007 is a vivid, orange-leaning yellow with a strong, sunlit presence. Its rich saturation makes it read more like a clear marigold-gold than a pale lemon, especially in warm daylight. Use this shade where a concentrated hit of color is wanted: on a front door, dining chairs, a kitchen island, or a single statement wall. Against crisp white, it feels graphic and energetic, while charcoal, deep navy, and black give it a sharper, more grounded contrast. Natural oak, rattan, and warm-toned metals such as brass also complement this color’s golden-orange cast.

LRV of Daffodil yellow

Daffodil yellow has an LRV of 37.63% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 37.63%, 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.
