RAL 7044 Silk Grey

With an LRV of about 45, RAL 7044 Silk Grey is a mid tone: it absorbs more light than it reflects, so it reads deeper on a large wall than on the chip. It suits accent walls and well-lit rooms. RAL does not publish an LRV for it, so this one is calculated from the color. RAL is a physical standard. #B6B3A8 is a screen approximation of RAL 7044; sources list slightly different HEX values, so check a RAL card before ordering paint.
