RAL 8014
Sepia Brown
RAL 8014 Sepia Brown is a dark, warm brown named after the rich brown ink derived from cuttlefish, used by artists and cartographers since antiquity. This historically evocative shade carries associations with aged parchment, antique maps, and old master drawings. Sepia Brown is specified for heritage restoration, museum display cases, and classic interior design where an atmosphere of scholarly tradition and historical depth is desired. It works beautifully with gold leaf, aged brass, and warm leather.
