Rich Carmine

RAL 210 30 30 Rich Carmine is positioned at hue 210, lightness 30, and chroma 30, a deep saturated warm pink that channels the concentrated pigment of carmine dye and the rich interior of almandine garnet. It is specified for luxury brand accent elements, gallery feature wall finishes, and premium automotive detail coatings. The strong chroma at low lightness produces a colour of historical intensity and dramatic warmth, recalling the prized pigments of Renaissance painters.
