What color is RAL Classic Ocean blue?
RAL Classic Ocean blue RAL 5020 is a deep blue-green with a cool, shaded character. Its #00414B value gives it substantial depth, so it can read almost charcoal-teal in low light while showing more blue-green clarity in brighter daylight. Use this shade on cabinetry, a study wall, or an exterior door where its dark tone can create definition without looking black. Pale oak, brushed nickel, warm white paint, and soft gray textiles provide a clean contrast, while terracotta or muted brass details bring out its green-blue cast. On large walls, balance it with generous light surfaces and natural materials to keep the room from feeling overly enclosed.

LRV of Ocean blue
Ocean blue has an LRV of 7.18% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.18%, 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.
