RAL 340 45 10
Muted Sandstone
RAL 340 45 10 Muted Sandstone occupies hue 340, lightness 45, and a moderate chroma of 10, a subdued mid-dark warm gold that bridges warm sand and grey like the surface of weathered sandstone blocks in an old cathedral. It is a natural choice for heritage structural elements, cinema interior millwork, and natural material colour coordination. The moderate saturation gives it a grounded, geological quality that blends seamlessly with concrete, natural stone, and weathered timber.
Color Reference
