Description RAL 1012 Lemon yellow

RAL 1012 is a warm, muted yellow from the RAL Classic color system, also known as 'Lemon yellow'. Despite its name, it's not a bright, citrus-like yellow; instead, it has a subdued, slightly earthy tone with a hint of beige or grey mixed in. This gives it a more sophisticated, mellow character compared to more vivid yellows.

RAL 1012 appears as a dusty, desaturated yellow that balances warmth with restraint. Its subtlety makes it versatile — it provides the positive, uplifting feel of yellow but avoids overwhelming brightness. The color can appear somewhat sandy under warm light and more neutral or even slightly greenish under cool light.

RAL 1012 conveys stability, approachability, and warmth. It reminds of natural elements such as sand, wheat, or dried grasses, making it suitable for environments aiming for a grounded and organic feel. Designers often pair it with greys, deep greens, off-whites, or muted blues to enhance its understated elegance.
