What color is RAL Classic Leaf green?
RAL Classic Leaf green RAL 6002 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable earthy yellow cast rather than a blue-toned forest quality. Its low brightness gives it visual weight, making it particularly effective on cabinetry, exterior doors, built-in shelving, or a single accent wall. In bright daylight, Leaf green reads as a grounded natural green; under warmer indoor lighting, its olive-leaning undertone becomes more apparent. Pair this shade with warm whites, putty neutrals, aged brass, terracotta, and natural oak for a layered, material-focused interior. On large walls, balance its depth with pale ceilings and generous light to keep the room from feeling enclosed.

LRV of Leaf green
Leaf green has an LRV of 11.18% 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 11.18%, 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.
