RAL 1002
Sand Yellow
RAL 1002 Sand Yellow is a rich, golden-ochre tone with historical significance — it was the standard color for vehicles of the Afrika Korps between 1941 and 1943. Today, this warm sand tone is used in construction, decorative metalwork, and architectural cladding where a natural, earthy warmth is desired. It complements stone and timber materials beautifully, making it a go-to specification for heritage restoration projects and desert-climate architecture.
