RAL 340 20 10

Deep Umber Root

RAL 340 20 10 Deep Umber Root sits at hue 340, lightness 20, and chroma 10 in the RAL Design system, producing a very dark muted warm gold that evokes the concentrated depth of ancient umber pigment and the shadowed interior of old walnut root burls. This intense tone is favoured for luxury furniture finishes, heritage panelling accents, and antique restoration details. Its low lightness and restrained chroma create a colour that reads nearly black yet reveals a warm golden-brown heart under direct illumination.
