What color is RAL Classic Signal red?

RAL Classic Signal red RAL 3001 is a deep, saturated red with a distinctly warm cast and a slightly muted, earthy edge. Its #9B2423 value keeps it from reading as a bright primary red, giving the shade more visual weight on a front door, built-in cabinet, or painted dining-room accent wall. In strong daylight, Signal red shows its red richness clearly, while lower or warmer lighting can make it appear darker and more grounded. Pair it with soft off-white walls, charcoal details, black metal, or natural oak to give the color room to stand out. On large surfaces, this shade is best balanced with restrained furnishings and plenty of lighter surrounding tones.

LRV of Signal red

Signal red has an LRV of 11.09% 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 11.09%, 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.
