Deep Burnt Sienna

RAL 030 20 20 Deep Burnt Sienna sits at hue 030, lightness 20, and chroma 20 in the RAL Design system, producing a very dark earthy orange with the depth of charred sienna pigment. This restrained tone is favoured for heritage timber colour coordination, leather goods hardware finishes, and formal interior joinery details. Its low lightness and moderate chroma create a colour that reads nearly black in shadow yet reveals warm brown-orange character under direct light.
