What color is RAL Classic Orient red?
RAL Classic Orient red RAL 3031 is a deep, clear red with a faint cool cast that keeps it from reading orange or brick-like. Its medium-dark depth gives walls a grounded presence, while the solid saturation makes it especially effective on a front door, dining-room accent wall, or painted cabinetry. In warm evening light, this shade appears richer and slightly softer; cooler daylight brings out its cleaner red character. Pair Orient red with chalky off-whites, charcoal, soft greige, or dark-stained oak for contrast that does not compete with the color. Matte black metal, aged brass, and natural leather also suit its concentrated red tone.

LRV of Orient red
Orient red has an LRV of 13.57% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.57%, 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.
