What color is RAL Classic White aluminium?

RAL Classic White aluminium RAL 9006 is a light, muted gray with a near-even blend of gray and white in its #A1A1A0 value. White aluminium reads as a restrained neutral rather than a bright white, giving surfaces a softly weathered, industrial-leaning appearance. In daylight it can appear cleaner and lighter, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its gentle gray cast. It suits metalwork, cabinets, trim, and exterior details where a pale neutral is wanted without the starkness of pure white. Pair this color with charcoal, black, concrete gray, pale wood, or warm off-whites for contrast that keeps the scheme grounded.

LRV of White aluminium

White aluminium has an LRV of 45.88% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 45.88%, 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.
