RAL 350 65 20

Pale Apricot Sand

RAL 350 65 20 Pale Apricot Sand occupies hue 350, lightness 65, and chroma 20, a luminous warm amber that captures the golden warmth of ripe apricots and the gentle glow of late-afternoon sunlight on sandstone cliffs. It is a natural choice for Mediterranean-inspired interior schemes, boutique hotel lobby finishes, and artisan ceramic glaze coordination. The balanced chroma and elevated lightness produce a colour that feels sun-warmed, inviting, and effortlessly elegant.
