RAL 060 40 20

Warm Sage

RAL 060 40 20 Warm Sage sits at hue 060, lightness 40, and chroma 20, a warm earthy mid-dark yellow-green reminiscent of dried sage leaves and sun-bleached meadow grass. It is specified for herb garden structural elements, farmhouse interior millwork, and natural material colour coordination. The moderate chroma and darkness produce a colour that feels organic, grounded, and connected to pastoral landscapes.
