What color is RAL Classic Pigeon blue?

RAL Classic Pigeon blue RAL 5014 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable grey cast, giving it a softened, practical character rather than a bright nautical look. The #637D96 value reads cool overall, with enough depth to hold its own on full walls, built-in shelving, or painted cabinetry. In strong daylight, its blue character becomes clearer, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring forward its subdued grey quality. Pair Pigeon blue with chalky whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal, or warm off-white textiles for a measured contrast. It is especially well suited to studies, kitchens, entryways, and exterior details where a restrained blue is wanted without excessive saturation.

LRV of Pigeon blue

Pigeon blue has an LRV of 21.54% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 21.54%, 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.
