With an LRV of about 24, RAL 7000 Squirrel Grey 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. #7B888E is a screen approximation of RAL 7000; sources list slightly different HEX values, so check a RAL card before ordering paint.
