What color is RAL Classic Ivory?

RAL Classic Ivory RAL 1014 is a muted, creamy beige with a clear warm cast and a soft, lightly earthy depth. Its #DDC49B value reads warmer than a stark off-white, showing gentle yellow-beige and sandy notes rather than a crisp white finish. In north-facing rooms it can appear slightly more subdued and tan, while direct warm daylight brings out its pale golden character. Use this shade on walls, kitchen cabinetry, or exterior trim where a softer alternative to white is wanted. Ivory pairs naturally with warm wood, aged brass, terracotta, flax linen, and deeper brown or olive accents.

What are RAL Classic Ivory undertones?

LRV of Ivory

Ivory has an LRV of 58.34% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 58.34%, 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.
