RAL 040 70 35
Light Caramel
RAL 040 70 35 Light Caramel sits at hue 040, lightness 70, and chroma 35, a warm luminous orange-yellow that captures the golden glow of salted caramel. It is chosen for resort hotel interiors, fashion retail display environments, and contemporary residential accent walls. The moderate chroma at high lightness creates a colour that is indulgent, inviting, and distinctly warm.
