How RAL 6036 reads

Pearl opal green is a deep blue green with a pearlescent finish, close on screen to RAL 6026 opal green. The real paint shimmers as the angle changes, which no flat swatch can show.

Where it turns up

It suits bikes, trim and decorative panels. A flat screen swatch cannot show the pearl effect, so judge it from a sprayed sample viewed in daylight from several angles.

Ordering RAL 6036 in paint or powder

Quote the number, not just the name: say "RAL Classic 6036" 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.
