With an LRV of about 21, RAL 2009 Traffic Orange absorbs most of the light that reaches it. It makes a wall recede and a room feel smaller, and it needs good light to show its color.

RAL is a physical standard. #DA530A is a screen approximation of RAL 2009; sources list slightly different HEX values, so check a RAL card before ordering paint.
