What color is RAL Classic Reseda green?
RAL Classic Reseda green RAL 6011 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable olive cast and soft gray restraint. Its #6B7C59 value keeps it earthy rather than bright, with yellow-green undertones that can appear warmer in incandescent light and more subdued in daylight. Reseda green suits kitchen cabinetry, built-in shelving, or a study wall where a grounded color is wanted without creating a dark backdrop. Pair it with warm white, putty, natural oak, aged brass, and charcoal for a practical, material-led palette.

LRV of Reseda green
Reseda green has an LRV of 20.85% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
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 20.85%, 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.
