Very Dark
Absorbs almost all light — dramatic and cocooning. Needs strong artificial lighting and works best as an accent or in well-lit rooms.
Undertone
Reads as a warm orange with a yellow undertone showing through, especially in daylight. Pair trim and adjacent colours to either calm or amplify that undertone.

About RAL 050 30 10
What is a RAL colour?
RAL is the European colour-matching standard used to specify exact colours for paints and coatings. Each code — like RAL 050 30 10 from the RAL Design System — maps to one defined colour, so a manufacturer or painter anywhere produces the identical result. It's used first and foremost on window frames, doors, façades, gates, railings and powder-coated metalwork.
