What color is RAL Classic Distant blue?
RAL Classic Distant blue RAL 5023 is a medium-deep blue with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool character is clear, though the softened saturation gives it a practical, grounded look on large wall areas. In daylight, this shade can appear cleaner and bluer, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper, more subdued side. Distant blue suits studies, hallways, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, off-white, and soft concrete tones. For contrast, pair this color with warm clay, muted ochre, or natural leather accents.

LRV of Distant blue
Distant blue has an LRV of 16.13% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
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 16.13%, 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.
