RAL 8016 Mahogany Brown

With an LRV of about 3, RAL 8016 Mahogany Brown 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. #4B2B20 is a screen approximation of RAL 8016; sources list slightly different HEX values, so check a RAL card before ordering paint.
