RAL 260 25 25
Dark Bronze
RAL 260 25 25 Dark Bronze occupies hue 260, lightness 25, and chroma 25, a deep saturated warm orange that recalls the concentrated warmth of aged bronze patina and the rich interior of old spice chests. It is ideal for heritage library interiors, artisan metalwork coordination, and traditional joinery details. The strong chroma at this dark level gives it a metallic intensity that feels rooted in centuries of bronze-casting craft and architectural tradition.
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+).
