What color is RAL Classic Brillant blue?

RAL Classic Brillant blue RAL 5007 is a medium-depth blue with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than overly bright. Its cool blue character is clear, while the softened saturation gives it a practical, architectural look on larger surfaces. In bright daylight, this shade can read cleaner and more open; under warm indoor lighting, it may appear deeper and more subdued. Brillant blue suits cabinetry, a study wall, exterior doors, or painted metal details, especially alongside off-white, charcoal, pale gray, and natural oak. For a more graphic palette, pair this color with crisp white trim and dark hardware.

LRV of Brillant blue

Brillant blue has an LRV of 15.25% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.25%, 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.
