RAL 130 30 35

Rich Sapphire

RAL 130 30 35 Rich Sapphire is positioned at hue 130, lightness 30, and chroma 35, a deep saturated blue that evokes the concentrated pigment of polished sapphire and deep Atlantic waters. It is specified for luxury automotive accent elements, gemstone display interior finishes, and premium furniture details. The strong chroma at low lightness produces a colour of concentrated mineral depth and oceanic gravitas.
