What color is RAL Classic Jet black?
RAL Classic Jet black RAL 9005 is an almost absolute black with a faintly cool, inky cast visible at close range. Its depth makes it read as a solid dark field in most lighting, while brighter daylight can reveal the slightest separation from pure black. Use Jet black on metal window frames, interior doors, cabinetry, or a single architectural wall where a crisp graphic edge is wanted. It pairs particularly well with pale plaster, white oak, concrete, brushed steel, and warm brass, creating contrast without introducing another strong color. On larger walls, ample natural light or lighter surrounding finishes will keep this shade from making the room feel visually closed in.

What are RAL Classic Jet black undertones?

LRV of Jet black
Jet black has an LRV of 4.22% 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 4.22%, 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.
