What color is RAL Classic Traffic green?
RAL Classic Traffic green RAL 6024 is a saturated mid-to-deep green with a noticeable blue-green cast. Its crisp, cool character keeps it from reading like a leafy or yellow-based green, while the darkened value gives it enough weight for larger applications. In bright daylight, this shade appears clean and vivid; under softer or lower light, it takes on a richer, more shaded look. Use it for a front door, built-in cabinetry, a dining-room accent wall, or exterior metalwork where a strong color is wanted. Traffic green pairs well with warm oak, pale stone, soft off-white, charcoal, and brushed brass.

LRV of Traffic green
Traffic green has an LRV of 19.75% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 19.75%, 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.
