Distant blue
RAL Classic Distant blue (RAL 5023) carries the measured structure of its color data and the less predictable beauty of paint in a finished space. Its LRV of 16.1 gives it real visual weight, allowing the color to hold a wall rather than simply recede from view. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
