What color is RAL Classic Signal brown?

RAL Classic Signal brown RAL 8002 is a deep, earthy brown with a noticeable muted red cast, reflected in its #794D3E value. It reads warm and grounded rather than darkly dramatic, making it useful where a richer alternative to beige or charcoal is wanted. In bright daylight, Signal brown can show more of its clay-like warmth, while lower light brings out its denser brown character. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, interior doors, or exterior trim for a substantial, architectural finish. Pair this shade with warm off-whites, sand-colored textiles, aged brass, natural oak, and matte black details.

LRV of Signal brown

Signal brown has an LRV of 12.23% 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 12.23%, 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.
