What color is RAL Classic Granite grey?
RAL Classic Granite grey RAL 7026 is a deep, muted blue-grey with a distinctly cool cast. Its low-light character gives it the weight of charcoal, while the blue-green hint in the color keeps it from reading as flat black. In daylight, this shade can appear slightly clearer and more slate-like; under warm artificial lighting, it tends to look darker and more subdued. It is especially effective on exterior doors, metalwork, kitchen cabinetry, or a single wall where a strong architectural contrast is wanted. Pair Granite grey with pale stone, soft off-whites, natural oak, brushed steel, or warm terracotta for a grounded mix of cool and earthy materials.

LRV of Granite grey
Granite grey has an LRV of 8.27% 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 8.27%, 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.
