What color is RAL Classic Ultramarine blue?
RAL Classic Ultramarine blue RAL 5002 is a deep, saturated blue with a distinctly cool, clean cast. Its dark value gives it strong visual weight, reading almost inky in dim rooms while showing a clearer blue presence in bright daylight. Use this color on a front door, built-in cabinetry, or a single wall where a concentrated hit of blue will feel intentional rather than overwhelming. Pale grey, crisp white, light oak, brushed steel, and warm brass provide effective contrast without competing with the shade. In larger areas, Ultramarine blue benefits from good natural or layered artificial light so its depth remains visible.

LRV of Ultramarine blue
Ultramarine blue has an LRV of 7.44% 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 7.44%, 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.
