Description RAL 5017 Traffic blue

RAL 5017, also known as 'Traffic blue', is a vivid and striking shade of blue that occupies a distinctive place in the RAL Classic color system. It presents as a bright, medium-to-dark blue with a slightly cool undertone, evoking a sense of clarity, freshness, and modernity.

The color carries a crisp, clean quality that makes it highly visible and attention-grabbing, which is why it's often used in contexts requiring high contrast and immediate recognition, such as transportation signage, industrial design, and safety applications.

Unlike softer or muted blues, RAL 5017 conveys energy and confidence, appearing both professional and dynamic. It has a versatile character, balancing the calming associations traditionally linked to blue with a sharper intensity that gives it a contemporary, almost technological edge.

Whether applied in architectural elements, on vehicles, or in branding, this color maintains its vibrancy under different lighting conditions, and its strong visual presence ensures that it stands out while remaining aesthetically pleasing. RAL 5017 is an approachable blue that communicates reliability, modernity, and visibility in equal measure.
