What color is RAL Classic Green blue?

RAL Classic Green blue RAL 5001 is a deep, blue-led shade with a noticeable green cast that keeps it from reading as a straightforward navy. Its low brightness gives it substantial visual weight, especially in north-facing rooms or evening light, where it can appear nearly inky. In stronger daylight, the blue-green character becomes clearer and lends definition to cabinetry, front doors, or a single painted wall. Pair Green blue with warm white, pale oak, brushed brass, or sandy stone to bring contrast against its cool depth. For a more graphic scheme, use it alongside charcoal, black hardware, and crisp white trim.

LRV of Green blue

Green blue has an LRV of 8.57% 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 8.57%, 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.
