More info / orderingDescription RAL 5011 Steel blue

RAL 5011, also known as 'Steel blue', is a deep, subtly muted shade of blue that conveys a sense of strength, reliability, and quiet sophistication. It leans noticeably toward the darker end of the blue spectrum, with a cool undertone that gives it a calm, composed presence. Because of its depth, the color often appears almost black in low light, but when illuminated, it reveals a rich, slightly smoky blue that feels both elegant and restrained.
This color is used in industrial, maritime, and architectural contexts, where its serious and professional character is valued. It brings a sense of stability and durability, making it suitable for machinery, metal structures, and facades that aim to appear robust and timeless. At the same time, RAL 5011 also works well in interior design, where it can add a touch of sophistication to modern spaces, especially when paired with lighter neutrals, warm woods, or metallic accents.
RAL 5011 is a versatile and distinguished blue that combines depth, subtlety, and a classic aesthetic, offering a refined visual presence without drawing excessive attention.
