What color is RAL Classic Maize yellow?
RAL Classic Maize yellow RAL 1006 is a vivid golden yellow with a distinctly warm, orange-leaning cast. Its high saturation gives it a sunny, energetic presence, especially in daylight, while warmer evening lighting can make it read deeper and more amber. Maize yellow is best used where a strong hit of color is welcome: on a front door, kitchen cabinetry, a dining-area accent wall, or painted furniture. Pair it with charcoal gray, creamy off-white, deep green, or dark blue to give its brightness a grounded contrast. Natural oak, black metal, and terracotta-toned materials also suit this shade’s warm, graphic character.

LRV of Maize yellow
Maize yellow has an LRV of 37.45% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 37.45%, 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.
