RAL 1016 Sulfur Yellow

With an LRV of about 70, RAL 1016 Sulfur Yellow reflects a little over half the light that reaches it, so it stays light in a north-facing room without looking stark. RAL does not publish an LRV for it, so this one is calculated from the color. RAL is a physical standard. #E8DE35 is a screen approximation of RAL 1016; sources list slightly different HEX values, so check a RAL card before ordering paint.
