RAL 000 60 00

Mid Grey

RAL 000 60 00 Mid Grey occupies lightness 60 on the grey axis, a versatile medium grey that reads as neither light nor dark in most contexts. Designers rely on it for elevator doors, column cladding, and automotive interior trim where a composed, unobtrusive surface is needed. Its zero-chroma neutrality ensures it never competes with surrounding colours or materials.
