What color is RAL Classic Red lilac?
RAL Classic Red lilac RAL 4001 is a muted mid-tone purple with a softly dusty, greyed cast. Its #816183 color value shows a close balance of red and blue, giving the shade a restrained mauve-violet appearance rather than a bright lilac finish. Red lilac can bring measured color to bedroom walls, a reading nook, or painted cabinetry without dominating the room. Pair it with warm off-whites, charcoal grey, pale oak, or brushed brass for a grounded interior palette. In lower light, this color may read deeper and more plum-toned, while brighter daylight brings out its subdued violet character.

LRV of Red lilac
Red lilac has an LRV of 17.5% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.5%, 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.
