What color is RAL Classic Bottle green?

RAL Classic Bottle green RAL 6007 is a very dark, muted green with a strong blackened cast and an earthy olive undertone. Its low brightness gives it substantial visual weight, so it reads almost charcoal in dim rooms while showing more of its green character in direct daylight. Use this shade on cabinetry, a library wall, exterior trim, or a front door where its depth can anchor lighter surrounding finishes. Bottle green pairs well with warm off-whites, weathered oak, aged brass, tan leather, and natural stone. Against pale plaster or soft beige, this color creates a crisp, grounded contrast without looking overly sharp.

What are RAL Classic Bottle green undertones?

Bottle green is a deep, very muted deep olive. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

#2C3222

LRV of Bottle green

Bottle green has an LRV of 6.33% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 6.33%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft² living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
