RAL 020 60 25 Warm Salmon sits at hue 020, lightness 60, and chroma 25, a soft warm red-orange with the gentle appeal of fresh salmon. It brings approachable warmth to hospitality interior schemes, cosmetic and skincare packaging, and residential living room feature walls. The moderate chroma at mid-high lightness creates a colour that is expressive yet easy to coordinate with neutral palettes.
