Squirrel Grey

RAL 7000 Squirrel Grey is a cool, blue-tinted grey that opens the extensive RAL grey series with a refined, professional tone. Named after the blue-grey fur of the European squirrel, this shade provides a sophisticated alternative to neutral greys for industrial equipment, commercial HVAC systems, and modern office architecture. Squirrel Grey's subtle blue undertone prevents it from appearing flat or lifeless, adding depth and character to large coated surfaces.
