What color is RAL Classic Raspberry red?

RAL Classic Raspberry red RAL 3027 is a deep, saturated red with a noticeable berry-carmine cast rather than an orange or brick direction. Its #AB273C value gives it a rich mid-to-dark presence, so it reads strongest on smaller areas such as a painted door, dining chairs, built-in shelving, or a feature wall. Raspberry red can look darker and more wine-toned in low or north-facing light, while brighter daylight brings out its clearer crimson character. Pair it with warm white, soft greige, charcoal, or pale blush for contrast that keeps the red in focus. Natural oak, walnut, black metal, and aged brass are particularly fitting materials beside this shade.

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 13.04%, 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.
