RAL 9006 White Aluminium

With an LRV of about 36, RAL 9006 White Aluminium 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 is a physical standard. #A1A1A0 is a screen approximation of RAL 9006; sources list slightly different HEX values, so check a RAL card before ordering paint.
