What color is RAL Classic Opal green?

RAL Classic Opal green RAL 6026 is a deep blue-green with a clearly cool, slightly mineral cast. Its saturated #005F4E tone has enough darkness to read as substantial on large surfaces, while the green keeps it from feeling purely teal. In daylight, Opal green appears crisp and blue-leaning; under warm evening bulbs, it can look deeper and more muted. Use it on cabinetry, a dining-room wall, or a front door where its concentrated color can hold its own. Pale oak, off-white plaster, brushed brass, and soft clay-toned textiles give this shade a grounded contrast.

LRV of Opal green

Opal green has an LRV of 10.75% 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 10.75%, 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.
