RAL 240 50 10
Dusty Terracotta
RAL 240 50 10 Dusty Terracotta is defined by hue 240, lightness 50, and a low chroma of 10, a muted earthy mid-tone that bridges red-orange and grey with the quiet presence of weathered terracotta and aged adobe. It is a natural choice for wellness-inspired interior schemes, natural fibre colour coordination, and heritage restoration surfaces. The restrained saturation gives it a sophisticated, mineral quality that pairs beautifully with raw timber, stone, and woven textiles.
Color Reference
The RAL Design system uses Hue-Lightness-Chroma (HLC) notation. Hue describes the color family (0-360°), Lightness describes brightness (0-100), and Chroma describes saturation intensity (0-100+).
