How RAL 6021 reads
Pale green is a soft, muted sage, lighter than RAL 6011 reseda green and greyer than RAL 6019 pastel green. It sits comfortably between grey and green and suits quiet rooms.
Where it turns up
It suits interiors, furniture, render and garden accents. Check samples in daylight, because sage greens shift noticeably with the light and with surrounding colours.
Ordering RAL 6021 in paint or powder
Quote the number, not just the name: say "RAL Classic 6021" 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.
