Maize yellow

RAL Classic Maize yellow (RAL 1006) carries the measured structure of its color data and the less predictable beauty of paint in a finished space. An LRV of 37.5 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. The room imagery and measured color data offer two complementary ways to read the shade.
