What color is RAL Classic Oxide red?
RAL Classic Oxide red RAL 3009 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable earthy brown cast, reflected in its #6D342D color value. It reads warm and substantial rather than bright, bringing a grounded, weathered-red character to a room. In strong daylight, this shade can show more of its red tone, while lower or warmer light tends to emphasize its darker brown depth. Use Oxide red on a dining-room wall, a painted front door, built-in cabinetry, or exterior metalwork where its weighty color can hold its own. It pairs particularly well with soft cream, warm gray, charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, and dark iron finishes.

LRV of Oxide red
Oxide red has an LRV of 8.5% 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 8.5%, 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.
