What color is RAL Classic Red violet?

RAL Classic Red violet RAL 4002 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable violet cast and a softly browned, wine-like depth. Its moderate saturation keeps it from reading as bright berry, giving it a grounded appearance on walls, doors, or painted cabinetry. In warm light, this shade can look richer and redder, while cooler daylight draws out its subdued purple undertone. Pair Red violet with warm white, pale blush, charcoal, or mushroom gray for contrast, and add oak, walnut, aged brass, or blackened metal for material texture. It is especially effective as a dining-room accent, a powder-room wall color, or a front door that needs more character than a standard red.

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 12.31%, 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.
