What color is RAL Classic Traffic purple?
RAL Classic Traffic purple RAL 4006 is a saturated mid-depth purple with a noticeable raspberry-red cast. Its #903373 value gives it enough richness to read as bold on a full wall, while the red undertone keeps it from feeling icy or blue-violet. In bright daylight, this shade can appear clearer and more magenta-leaning; lower light brings out its darker, wine-like depth. Use Traffic purple on a feature wall, painted cabinet, or statement door alongside soft greige, pale blush, charcoal, or warm white. Brass fittings, dark wood, and matte black details give this color a grounded, contemporary contrast.

LRV of Traffic purple
Traffic purple has an LRV of 12.69% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.69%, 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.
