What color is RAL Classic Pearl gold?
RAL Classic Pearl gold RAL 1036 is a deep, muted golden brown with a noticeable earthy cast. Its #806440 color value reads warm and grounded, sitting closer to aged ochre than a bright yellow gold. In direct light, the brown-gold character becomes clearer, while lower lighting can make this shade appear deeper and more subdued. Pearl gold suits cabinetry, interior doors, or a feature wall where its substantial depth will not overwhelm the room. Pair it with warm white, charcoal, dark walnut, black metal, or natural stone for a restrained, material-focused scheme.

LRV of Pearl gold
Pearl gold has an LRV of 28.3% 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 28.3%, 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.
