RAL 020 20 20
Deep Mahogany
RAL 020 20 20 Deep Mahogany sits at hue 020, lightness 20, and chroma 20 in the RAL Design system, producing a very dark red-orange with the brooding depth of aged hardwood. This restrained tone is favoured for antique furniture restoration finishes, formal entrance gate ironwork, and luxury leather goods coordination. Its low lightness and moderate chroma create a colour that reads nearly black in shadow yet reveals warm red-brown character under direct light.
