RAL 3009 Oxide Red

With an LRV of about 5, RAL 3009 Oxide Red 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 does not publish an LRV for it, so this one is calculated from the color. RAL is a physical standard. #663029 is a screen approximation of RAL 3009; sources list slightly different HEX values, so check a RAL card before ordering paint.
