Deep Amber

RAL 260 20 20 Deep Amber sits at hue 260, lightness 20, and chroma 20 in the RAL Design system, producing a very dark saturated warm orange that evokes the concentrated depth of fossilised amber and the last glow of oak-wood embers. This intense tone is favoured for luxury furniture finishes, heritage panelling accents, and premium whisky bar interiors. Its low lightness and moderate chroma create a colour that reads nearly black in shadow yet reveals a warm golden-brown heart under direct illumination.
