RAL 290 25 15
Dark Citron Peel
RAL 290 25 15 Dark Citron Peel occupies hue 290, lightness 25, and chroma 15, a deep saturated yellow-lime that recalls the concentrated tartness of dried citron peel and the rich interior of old herbalist apothecaries. It is ideal for organic food branding elements, heritage garden furniture finishes, and artisan herbalist interior details. The moderate chroma at this dark level gives it a zesty intensity that feels rooted in centuries of botanical craft and herbal tradition.
