What color is RAL Classic Pearl gentian blue?

RAL Classic Pearl gentian blue RAL 5025 is a deep blue-green with a clear, cool cast and noticeable teal undertones. Its mid-to-dark depth gives it enough presence for cabinetry, a feature wall, or painted exterior details without reading as near-black. In bright daylight, this shade shows more of its blue clarity, while warmer indoor lighting can draw out its greener side. Pair Pearl gentian blue with chalky white, pale grey, light oak, or brushed nickel for a crisp, grounded scheme. For a bolder contrast, it sits well beside muted terracotta or soft sand tones.

LRV of Pearl gentian blue

Pearl gentian blue has an LRV of 17.91% 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 17.91%, 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.
