What color is RAL Classic Patina green?

RAL Classic Patina green RAL 6000 is a muted mid-depth green with a noticeable blue-teal cast, reflected in its #3C7460 color value. It reads cooler than a leafy green, with enough grayness to keep the color grounded rather than bright. In daylight, Patina green can show its blue undertone more clearly, while warmer indoor lighting may bring out a softer, earthier green character. It suits cabinetry, paneled walls, and exterior details where a substantial but not overly dark green is wanted. Pair this shade with chalky whites, warm stone, pale oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents for a considered contrast.

LRV of Patina green

Patina green has an LRV of 17.11% 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 17.11%, 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.
