What color is RAL Classic Yellow green?
RAL Classic Yellow green RAL 6018 is a mid-depth green with a clear yellow cast, giving it the fresh, leafy character suggested by its #60993B value. It reads lively rather than pastel, with enough saturation to hold its own on a feature wall, garden-facing exterior detail, or painted cabinetry. In bright daylight, Yellow green appears cleaner and more energetic; lower or warmer light can draw out its earthier olive side. Pair it with soft off-whites, warm gray, natural oak, or terracotta for a grounded scheme, or use charcoal accents for sharper contrast. It is especially effective in kitchens, mudrooms, sunrooms, and outdoor areas where a strong natural green feels at home.

LRV of Yellow green
Yellow green has an LRV of 27.51% 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 27.51%, 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.
