What color is RAL Classic Flame red?

RAL Classic Flame red RAL 3000 is a deep, saturated red with a distinctly warm cast and a subtle orange-red edge. Its strong pigment gives it real visual weight, making it better suited to feature walls, front doors, painted metalwork, or cabinetry than to wrapping an entire small room. In bright daylight, this color reads as clear and energetic; under warm evening lighting, it can appear darker and more concentrated. Pair Flame red with chalky white, charcoal, dark stained wood, or brushed steel to give its intensity a grounded setting. It also stands out nicely against pale concrete, natural linen, and muted blue-gray accents.

LRV of Flame red

Flame red has an LRV of 12.63% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.63%, 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.
