RAL 8001
Ochre Brown
RAL 8001 Ochre Brown is a warm, golden-brown inspired by the natural ochre earth pigments that have been used in art and architecture since prehistoric cave paintings. This historically significant shade conveys warmth, authenticity, and connection to the earth. Ochre Brown is specified for heritage restoration projects, Mediterranean architecture, and contemporary designs that reference traditional earth pigment palettes. It pairs beautifully with terracotta, warm white, and deep blue accents.
