RAL 230 60 30

Bright Flame

RAL 230 60 30 Bright Flame is positioned at hue 230, lightness 60, and chroma 30, a vivid high-chroma true red that radiates the fresh brilliance of open flame and the warm glow of red garnet in sunlight. It is widely used for exhibition graphic panels, creative studio feature walls, and dynamic retail environment features. The elevated lightness combined with strong chroma produces a colour that feels both warm and energetically optimistic.
