What color is RAL Classic Sapphire blue?
RAL Classic Sapphire blue RAL 5003 is a deep, muted blue with a distinctly cool, slightly gray-cast appearance. At #1F3855, it reads as a restrained navy in bright daylight, while lower light brings out its shadowy, ink-like depth. Sapphire blue suits cabinetry, front doors, and accent walls where a darker color can add definition without looking black. Pair it with soft off-whites, pale gray-blue tones, natural oak, brushed nickel, or warm brass for contrast. On larger walls, good lighting helps this shade retain its blue character and prevents it from feeling too heavy.

LRV of Sapphire blue
Sapphire blue has an LRV of 6.21% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.21%, 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.
