What color is RAL Classic Luminous red?

RAL Classic Luminous red RAL 3024 is a high-impact, intensely saturated red with a clear warm, orange-leaning cast. Its brightness makes it read almost signal-like in strong daylight, while lower light brings out a slightly deeper red character. This shade is best reserved for focused applications such as a front door, stair railing, retail detail, feature wall, or statement cabinet rather than used across every wall in a room. Pair it with crisp white, charcoal, blackened steel, pale concrete, or light oak to give its vivid warmth a clean framework.

LRV of Luminous red

Luminous red has an LRV of 24.33% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 24.33%, 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.
