What color is RAL Classic Chrome green?

RAL Classic Chrome green RAL 6020 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a subtle earthy yellow-green undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading bright or leafy, giving it a reserved, almost weathered appearance. In daylight, this shade can show more of its green character, while warm evening lighting may bring out its olive-leaning depth. It suits library walls, built-in cabinetry, exterior doors, and architectural trim where a dark color can add definition without looking black. Pair Chrome green with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, stone, or soft clay tones for a grounded interior palette.

LRV of Chrome green

Chrome green has an LRV of 8.28% 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 8.28%, 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.
