What color is RAL Classic Signal orange?

RAL Classic Signal orange RAL 2010 is a strong, warm orange with a noticeable earthy red cast rather than a yellow-citrus brightness. Its depth makes it especially effective as a front door, metal railing, cabinet accent, or single feature wall where a clear hit of color is wanted. In bright daylight, this shade reads energetic and vivid; under warmer indoor lighting, it can appear richer and more terracotta-like. Pair Signal orange with chalky whites, warm gray, charcoal, deep brown, or dark blue for contrast that keeps the orange grounded. Natural oak, black steel, and concrete also give this color a practical, contemporary setting.

LRV of Signal orange

Signal orange has an LRV of 23.01% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.01%, 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.
