RAL 010 25 40
Oxblood
RAL 010 25 40 Oxblood is positioned at hue 010, lightness 25, and chroma 40, a deep, intense dark red that carries the gravitas of traditional oxblood leather. It is specified for luxury automotive body accents, formal gate and railing ironwork, and premium leather goods colour coordination. The high chroma at such low lightness produces a colour of remarkable depth and richness that reveals complex red undertones in strong light.
