How RAL 5024 reads
Pastel blue is a light, muted blue with a soft grey cast, lighter and calmer than RAL 5012 light blue. It is gentle rather than sugary.
Where it turns up
It suits interiors, furniture, sheds and bikes. Pale blues can look cold in north facing rooms, so test a sample in place.
Ordering RAL 5024 in paint or powder
Quote the number, not just the name: say "RAL Classic 5024" and add the gloss level, the product type (wall paint, metal paint, powder, aerosol) and the surface. The same number mixed by two makers, or in two gloss levels, can look slightly different, so keep a whole job in one batch and look at a sample in daylight first. The paint counter guide covers the questions to ask.
