Daffodil Yellow

RAL 1007 Daffodil Yellow is a deep, warm orange-yellow that sits at the boundary between yellow and orange in the RAL spectrum. Despite its floral name, this is a robust industrial color used in construction equipment, safety barriers, and transportation signage. Its high chroma makes it effective for visibility applications while its warm undertone gives it a more approachable character than pure signal yellows. Available in standard and superdurable powder coating formulations.
