RAL 320 30 20

Rich Olive Loam

RAL 320 30 20 Rich Olive Loam is positioned at hue 320, lightness 30, and chroma 20, a deep saturated olive-yellow that channels the concentrated richness of fertile loam and the warm glow of pressed olive oil in amber glass. Designers specify it for safari lodge interior elements, military heritage display finishes, and premium outdoor furniture coatings. The strong chroma at low lightness produces a colour of earthy intensity and grounded warmth.
