RAL 280 30 20
Rich Ochre
RAL 280 30 20 Rich Ochre is positioned at hue 280, lightness 30, and chroma 20, a deep high-chroma yellow that channels the concentrated pigment of natural yellow ochre and the warm glow of aged parchment under candlelight. It is specified for gallery feature wall finishes, artisan pottery glaze coordination, and premium brand identity elements. The strong chroma at low lightness produces a colour of earthy intensity and dramatic warmth, recalling the prized pigments of Renaissance fresco painters.
