What color is RAL Classic Oyster white?

RAL Classic Oyster white RAL 1013 is a pale, softly muted off-white with a noticeable beige cast. Its #E3D9C7 value gives it gentle warmth without pushing into yellow or cream, making it read as a light neutral rather than a stark white. In bright daylight, this shade can appear clean and lightly sand-toned, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its beige depth. Use it on full walls, ceilings, or cabinetry where a softer alternative to pure white is wanted. It pairs naturally with oak, linen, warm gray, matte black hardware, and earthy greens.

What are RAL Classic Oyster white undertones?

Oyster white is a light, very muted sandy beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Oyster white

Oyster white has an LRV of 70.76% 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 70.76%, 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.
