How RAL 6027 reads
Closer to a soft turquoise than to a leaf green, light green is a pale aqua tinted shade with a cool blue cast. It is lighter than RAL 6034 pastel turquoise and looks airy and clean.
Where it turns up
It suits interiors, bathrooms, furniture and decorative pieces. Use a white primer for the cleanest result, and view the sample in the actual room before ordering.
Ordering RAL 6027 in paint or powder
Quote the number, not just the name: say "RAL Classic 6027" 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.
