RAL 1018 Zinc Yellow

With an LRV of about 62, RAL 1018 Zinc 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. #F2CB2E is a screen approximation of RAL 1018; sources list slightly different HEX values, so check a RAL card before ordering paint.
