What color is RAL Classic Pearl orange?

RAL Classic Pearl orange RAL 2013 is a deep, earthy orange with a pronounced red-brown cast. Its low-to-mid brightness gives it more visual weight than a bright citrus orange, making it especially effective as an accent wall, painted front door, or statement cabinet finish. In direct sunlight, this shade reads warmer and more terracotta-like; under softer interior lighting, its darker reddish base becomes more noticeable. Pair Pearl orange with warm off-whites, sand tones, charcoal, or dark wood for a grounded palette. Brass hardware, aged leather, and natural stone also suit this color’s rich, clay-like character.

LRV of Pearl orange

Pearl orange has an LRV of 14.25% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.25%, 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.
