Ultramarine blue
Ultramarine blue is a blue paint color from RAL Classic, but its character reaches beyond a single label. Its LRV of 7.4 gives it real visual weight, allowing the color to hold a wall rather than simply recede from view. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
