RAL 290 45 20

Warm Pear

RAL 290 45 20 Warm Pear sits at hue 290, lightness 45, and chroma 20, a mid-dark yellow-lime with earthy warmth reminiscent of ripe conference pear skin and the shadowed interior of old orchard barns. It is specified for orchard brand packaging elements, heritage garden furniture finishes, and café interior surfaces. The balanced chroma and moderate darkness produce a colour that feels organic, grounded, and connected to the warmth of artisan fruit traditions.
