Warm Apricot

RAL 030 60 30 Warm Apricot sits at hue 030, lightness 60, and chroma 30, a soft warm orange with the gentle appeal of ripe apricot flesh. It brings approachable warmth to hospitality interior schemes, artisan bakery branding elements, and residential living room feature walls. The moderate chroma at mid-high lightness creates a colour that is appetising yet easy to coordinate with neutral palettes.
