RAL 1028
Melon Yellow
RAL 1028 Melon Yellow is a warm, rich amber-orange that is instantly recognizable as the signature color of Lufthansa, Germany's flagship airline. This confident, energetic tone conveys reliability and warmth, making it effective for corporate branding, transportation liveries, and commercial signage. Melon Yellow sits at the warm end of the yellow spectrum, almost crossing into orange territory, which gives it a distinctive character that stands apart from cooler yellows.
