RAL 340 75 10
Pale Barley
RAL 340 75 10 Pale Barley is defined by hue 340, lightness 75, and a low chroma of 10, a soft muted light warm gold that captures the weathered warmth of old barley-tinted plaster and the gentle blush of sun-bleached grain. It is a natural choice for heritage facade restoration, natural material colour coordination, and wellness centre corridor surfaces. The restrained saturation gives it a timeless, pastoral quality that pairs beautifully with raw timber, woven rattan, and natural stone.
Color Reference
The RAL Design system uses Hue-Lightness-Chroma (HLC) notation. Hue describes the color family (0-360°), Lightness describes brightness (0-100), and Chroma describes saturation intensity (0-100+).
