RAL 350 50 20

Warm Burnt Ochre

RAL 350 50 20 Warm Burnt Ochre is defined by hue 350, lightness 50, and chroma 20, a balanced mid-tone warm amber with the comforting warmth of burnt ochre pigment and the quiet presence of sun-dried clay bricks. It is a natural choice for eco-friendly interior schemes, natural textile colour coordination, and artisan workshop feature walls. The moderate saturation gives it a grounded, pigment quality that pairs beautifully with raw linen, terracotta, and unfinished timber.
