What color is RAL Classic Quartz grey?

RAL Classic Quartz grey RAL 7039 is a muted, medium-dark grey with a noticeable earthy cast, reflected in its #6B665E value. It reads warmer than a blue-based charcoal, with subtle brown and olive-leaning undertones that keep it grounded rather than stark. In bright daylight, this shade can look like a softened stone grey; under warm evening lighting, its beige-brown influence becomes more apparent. Use it on exterior trim, cabinetry, or a study wall where a deeper neutral is wanted without the heaviness of near-black. Pair Quartz grey with warm white, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and clay-toned ceramics for a restrained, material-focused scheme.

What are RAL Classic Quartz grey undertones?

Quartz grey is a midtone, very muted earthy, slightly muddy brown. 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 Quartz grey

Quartz grey has an LRV of 16.62% 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 16.62%, 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.
