What color is RAL Classic Purple violet?
RAL Classic Purple violet RAL 4007 is a very deep, muted purple with a noticeable red-wine cast beneath its dark surface. In bright natural light, its violet character becomes clearer, while low or warm lighting can make it read closer to a near-black plum. This color has enough depth for a dramatic dining room, library, or bedroom wall, but it is especially effective on cabinetry, interior doors, and smaller architectural details. Pair Purple violet with soft stone, warm off-white, dusty rose, or muted taupe to lighten the contrast, or use aged brass and dark walnut for a richer look.

LRV of Purple violet
Purple violet has an LRV of 6.24% 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 6.24%, 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.
