As mentioned in another thread, during the sample selection we chose the exterior facade color (including the base) "sto 16024, HB 81, C1," described as "silicone resin, diffusely open," "scratch render K3." On the small sample card, the color appeared very warm and light, which is exactly what we wanted. However, when I searched online for this color, I only found a sample for "sto 16024" (see photo), which looks much too dark to me.
Does anyone know what the additional labels "HB 81, C1" mean and whether they indicate that the color overall is lighter than "sto 16024"? Your feedback is very important to me, as we still have the option to change the color choice at the moment. Thank you in advance. :-)

For comparison: RAL 1015 taxi beige has a light reflectance value of 68, RAL 9010 pure white of 85. I’m afraid I might be testing your patience and that of other forum members, but I still don’t quite understand. Does this mean that the color code "sto 16024" doesn’t say much about how light or dark a color is, and that the relevant value is the light reflectance value "LRV 81"? Can I then assume that the color I introduced in my initial post comes in lighter and darker versions, and that with the light reflectance value "LRV 81" we get a lighter variant than the one shown in the photo?

Does the color code "sto 16024" say little about how light or dark a color is, and is the relevant value actually the lightness reference "HB 81"? Can I then assume that the color I presented in my initial post exists in lighter and darker versions, and that with the lightness reference "HB 81" we would get a lighter variant than the one shown in the photo?No, the designation Sto 16024 is the “name” or serial number of the color from the manufacturer. The value HB 81 is a measurement that indicates the lightness level of the color. If you look at Sto’s color chart, each shade has a different lightness value. There might also be different versions of the color regarding the type of paint, for example, with a “nano-effect” or similar.

From the discussions here, I had understood it more the other way around—that Sto 16024 is a fixed color code and the HB value is a characteristic of that color (to make it easier to compare). So there is no Sto 16024 with HB 5 and another with HB 80 or something like that. When I google Sto 16034, I also find a color overview from Stoindustry where exactly this HB 81 value is indicated.Edit: too slow

There might be different versions of the paint regarding the type of paint, like one with a "nano effect" and so on. So, the paint Sto 16024 is as dark as shown? Then it definitely does not match the selected color. Our chosen color was only slightly more yellowish than white.

You also have to be careful even with the color chart. That is usually cardboard or paper with a smooth surface. Your render/plaster has a completely different texture. It’s best to pick two or three favorites and have samples made. Our plasterer did that for us. They’re about the size of an A3 sheet. Then you can hold them up outside against the house. Ideally on all sides, and in both shade and sunlight. You’ll quickly notice how different it looks.
We also use Sto. And I can tell you that moving one number up or down can make a huge difference.
The Sto 16xxx numbers are their internal color codes. The HB value is a measurement indicating how much “brightness,” meaning light, is reflected by the color.

Edit: too slowI have just checked the Sto website again. This is definitely a mistake in the documents. We didn’t select this color, and my phone photo is also considerably lighter and more yellowish.I have already contacted our sample coordinator and was able to send him our phone photo. I hope we can still change the color.
