RAL 360 25 20

Dark Burgundy Wine

RAL 360 25 20 Dark Burgundy Wine occupies hue 360, lightness 25, and chroma 20, a deep saturated deep red that recalls the concentrated warmth of aged Burgundy wine and the rich interior of old leather-bound library volumes. It is ideal for heritage library interior finishes, artisan bookbinding coordination, and traditional joinery details. The strong chroma at this dark level gives it a vinous intensity that feels rooted in centuries of winemaking tradition and literary heritage.
