What color is RAL Classic Emerald green?

RAL Classic Emerald green RAL 6001 is a grounded mid-to-deep green with a slightly muted, natural-looking cast. Its #366735 value reads as a balanced green rather than a sharp yellow-green or blue-green, giving it a solid presence on walls and painted woodwork. In bright daylight, this shade appears clearer and more distinctly green; lower light brings out its darker, quieter side. Use Emerald green on cabinetry, a study wall, or exterior trim alongside warm white, soft gray, natural oak, and aged brass. For a stronger contrast, pair this color with pale clay tones or warm terracotta accents.

LRV of Emerald green

Emerald green has an LRV of 13.54% 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 13.54%, 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.
