RAL 5010
Gentian Blue
RAL 5010 Gentian Blue is a strong, pure blue named after the vivid gentian flowers found in Alpine meadows. This is one of the most widely used blues in European industrial coatings, specified for commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, and rail rolling stock. Gentian Blue delivers a clean, authoritative blue that reads well at any scale, from small components to full vehicle liveries. Its excellent pigment stability ensures consistent color performance across large production runs.
