What color is RAL Classic Light grey?

RAL Classic Light grey RAL 7035 is a pale, low-saturation grey with a faint green-grey cast visible in its #C5C7C4 value. It reads clean and restrained rather than stark, making it a practical alternative to bright white on broad wall areas. In daylight, this shade tends to show its soft grey character clearly, while warmer artificial lighting can make the surrounding finishes influence how cool or neutral it appears. Light grey suits utility spaces, kitchens, hallways, and contemporary exterior details where a quiet, even-toned surface is wanted. Pair it with crisp whites, charcoal accents, brushed steel, pale wood, or muted green materials for a controlled, understated palette.

LRV of Light grey

Light grey 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.
