Description RAL 1006 Maize yellow

RAL 1006 – Maize yellow – is a vivid, warm, and energetic shade within the RAL Classic color system. The color stands out as a saturated, slightly orange-leaning yellow that evokes the richness of ripe maize kernels and late-summer sunlight. RAL 1006 is deeper and more intense than lighter yellows such as RAL 1003. It carries a bold, almost golden warmth, making it particularly eye-catching without drifting into the darker territory of amber or ochre tones. Its heightened chroma gives it a lively, optimistic presence.

Maize Yellow suggests vitality, activity, and cheerfulness. It can introduce a sense of brightness and energy into product design, interior accents, or visual communication. In combination with blacks or grays, it creates a modern, technical aesthetic; paired with whites, it feels clean and lively; used with deeper blues or greens, it offers a striking complementary contrast.

RAL 1006 is a bold, saturated yellow that balances warmth, clarity, and strength. Whether applied in industrial contexts or design-focused settings, it provides unmistakable visibility and a vibrant, optimistic character.
