Red orange

RAL Classic's Red orange is a beige shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. Its LRV of 17.8 gives it real visual weight, allowing the color to hold a wall rather than simply recede from view. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.

The beige, pink, red hue classifications suggest the subtle directions the color may take as the room changes. In this setting, let daylight, task lighting and evening pendants and stone, timber, tile and metal finishes guide the final sample decision.
