RAL 360 30 25

Rich Claret

RAL 360 30 25 Rich Claret is positioned at hue 360, lightness 30, and chroma 25, a deep high-chroma deep red that channels the concentrated fire of fine claret wine and the molten glow of ruby gemstone. Designers specify it for luxury automotive accent coatings, gallery feature wall finishes, and premium brand identity elements. The strong chroma at low lightness produces a colour of jewel-like intensity and dramatic warmth, recalling the prized rubies of Burmese gem mines.
