What color is RAL Classic Pearl night blue?

RAL Classic Pearl night blue RAL 5026 is a deep blue with a distinctly dark, cool appearance, shown here as #0F3052. Its low brightness gives it real visual weight, so it reads especially well on cabinetry, interior doors, built-in shelving, or a single feature wall rather than across a small, dim room. In brighter daylight, the blue becomes clearer and more defined; under warm evening lighting, it can appear closer to a near-navy shadow. Pair this shade with crisp white, pale grey, light oak, brushed steel, or warm brass to bring out its blue character. On exterior trim or a front door, this color creates a strong contrast against light render, stone, or white-painted brick.

LRV of Pearl night blue

Pearl night blue has an LRV of 7.63% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.63%, 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.
