What color is RAL Classic Ruby red?
RAL Classic Ruby red RAL 3003 is a deep, saturated red with a distinctly dark cast that keeps it from reading as bright or orange-leaning. Its #861A22 value suggests a strong crimson-red appearance, with enough depth to look nearly burgundy in dim corners or evening light. Use Ruby red on a front door, dining room cabinetry, a feature wall, or painted trim where a concentrated dose of color feels appropriate. It pairs particularly well with warm off-whites, charcoal, blackened metal, dark wood, and natural brass. In brighter daylight, this shade shows more of its red intensity, while softer lighting brings forward its moody, shadowed character.

LRV of Ruby red
Ruby red has an LRV of 8.75% 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 8.75%, 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.
