RAL 360 20 15

Deep Garnet Shadow

RAL 360 20 15 Deep Garnet Shadow sits at hue 360, lightness 20, and chroma 15 in the RAL Design system, producing a very dark saturated deep red that evokes the concentrated depth of garnet gemstone and the shadowed interior of old Bordeaux wine cellars. This intense tone is favoured for luxury furniture finishes, heritage panelling accents, and premium wine bar interiors. Its low lightness and moderate chroma create a colour that reads nearly black yet reveals a warm crimson heart under direct illumination.
