RAL 7030

Stone Grey

RAL 7030 Stone Grey is a warm, natural grey that replicates the color of weathered limestone and sandstone found across European architecture. This versatile shade is one of the most popular warm greys for residential facades, heritage-sensitive new builds, and contemporary design that references traditional stone construction. Stone Grey creates a welcoming, grounded appearance that ages gracefully and complements natural materials including timber, brick, and actual stone cladding.
