Oyster White

RAL 1013 Oyster White is a warm, creamy off-white with subtle yellow undertones. It is one of the most popular colors in the entire RAL system, specified extensively for building facades, window frames, ceiling panels, and interior trim. Oyster White provides a softer, warmer alternative to pure white, reducing glare while maintaining a clean, fresh appearance. It is a staple in both architectural powder coating and liquid paint specifications across Europe.
