What color is RAL Classic Reed green?

RAL Classic Reed green RAL 6013 is a muted, earthy olive with a noticeable khaki-brown cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading as a bright green, giving the shade a grounded, slightly weathered appearance. In warm artificial light, Reed green can look more golden and brown; cooler daylight brings out its restrained olive-gray side. It suits cabinetry, exterior trim, or full walls in studies, entryways, and kitchens where natural wood, aged brass, linen, and stone are already part of the palette. Pair it with warm off-whites, deep charcoal, clay tones, or dark walnut for a measured, layered scheme.

LRV of Reed green

Reed green has an LRV of 20.19% 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 20.19%, 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.
