What color is RAL Classic Silver grey?
RAL Classic Silver grey RAL 7001 is a muted, medium-light gray with a noticeable cool blue cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading as bright or icy, giving walls a quiet, lightly weathered appearance in daylight. In north-facing rooms, Silver grey can look more blue-gray, while warmer evening lighting may soften it toward a gentler neutral gray. It suits cabinetry, exterior metalwork, and larger wall areas where a restrained color is preferred over a crisp white or deep charcoal. Pair this shade with soft off-whites, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed steel, or dark navy for a clean, grounded scheme.

LRV of Silver grey
Silver grey has an LRV of 31.66% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 31.66%, 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.
