RAL 360 45 20

Warm Venetian Red

RAL 360 45 20 Warm Venetian Red sits at hue 360, lightness 45, and chroma 20, a mid-dark deep red with earthy warmth reminiscent of Venetian red pigment and the shadowed interior of old Murano glass workshops. It is specified for boutique interior elements, heritage millwork finishes, and restaurant dining room surfaces. The balanced chroma and moderate darkness produce a colour that feels historic, grounded, and connected to the warmth of Italian Renaissance craft traditions.
