RAL 230 25 20
Dark Garnet Red
RAL 230 25 20 Dark Garnet Red occupies hue 230, lightness 25, and chroma 20, a deep saturated true red that recalls the concentrated glow of pyrope garnet and the warm depth of aged port wine. It is ideal for heritage library interiors, antique furniture restoration finishes, and formal reception hall panelling. The strong chroma at this dark level gives it a jewel-like intensity that feels both ancient and luxurious.
