RAL 220 25 15
Dark Claret
RAL 220 25 15 Dark Claret occupies hue 220, lightness 25, and a moderate chroma of 15, a subdued dark warm red that recalls the quiet depth of aged claret wine and the warm shadow of mahogany panelling. It is ideal for heritage library interiors, antique furniture restoration finishes, and traditional pub millwork details. The moderate chroma at this dark level gives it a warm, vinous depth that feels rooted in centuries of European craft tradition.
