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.

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 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.
