What color is RAL Classic Green grey?

RAL Classic Green grey RAL 7009 is a deep, muted grey-green with a soft olive cast and very low saturation. Its restrained character keeps it from reading overly green, especially in lower light where it can appear closer to a weathered charcoal grey. Daylight brings out the green undertone more clearly, while warm bulbs tend to emphasize its earthy, slightly yellowed base. Green grey suits cabinetry, exterior trim, and study walls, particularly alongside warm white paint, aged brass, natural oak, and stone. For contrast, pair this shade with chalky creams or dark near-black accents rather than bright, high-chroma colors.

What are RAL Classic Green grey undertones?

Green grey is a midtone, very muted muted olive. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Green grey

Green grey has an LRV of 12.97% 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 12.97%, 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.
