Deep Claret

RAL 200 20 20 Deep Claret sits at hue 200, lightness 20, and chroma 20 in the RAL Design system, producing a very dark saturated pink that evokes the concentrated depth of aged claret and the dark interior of garnet cabochons. This intense tone is favoured for theatre interior finishes, luxury packaging accents, and formal reception panelling. Its low lightness and moderate chroma create a colour that reads nearly black in shadow yet reveals a warm crimson heart under direct illumination.
