If anyone’s interested in the actual color of the FW3A in the RAL standard, which takes the camera processing out of the equation:
Which in RGB terms would be approximately:
It depends a bit on where on the light I take the sample. This is from the body.
Inputting the L*a*b values to a color calculator will give you the nearest result within various color standards:

It’s closest to Aircraft Gray on a couple of standards.

We share exactly these thoughts and opinions.
It is appearing unlikely at the moment though. We shall see.
Aircraft Grey it is, then. The FW3A color is officially Aircraft Grey.
…
Well, officially in my headcanon anyway. I doubt Lumintop will put it on their product page.

Maybe “FW3A Gray” can be a RAL standard color…
Considering it's made of aluminum, Aircraft Grey fits nicely.
I’m in for two more (in addition to #332 and #686) for a total of four.
Hopefully in time for Christmas:)

April 8th, 3:41pm FW3A update:
Barring any unforeseen circumstance, this week, 2 samples will be sent to 2 members here in BLF and one sample to a member in TLF.
The final approval from the three persons will pave the way for the light’s mass-production.
As usual, in the meantime,
A photo of the version of the sample light to be sent to the 3 members:
(Isn’t it a thing of beauty?)
@tatasal: Thanks for the update.
Things are looking good!
