More info / orderingDescription RAL 1018 Zinc yellow

RAL 1018 – Zinc yellow – is a vivid, energetic shade of yellow from the RAL Classic color system. It stands out for its strong luminosity and crisp, almost fluorescent character. Compared to softer or warmer yellows, RAL 1018 has a distinctly sharp, clean appearance with a high level of brightness, making it an excellent choice when clear visibility or a cheerful, modern look is desired.
This color often appears in industrial and safety-related applications because its intensity draws attention quickly — ideal for warning markings, machinery, and equipment that must be easily noticed. In design contexts, RAL 1018 conveys optimism, freshness, and technical precision. Its slightly cool undertone keeps it from feeling overly golden or pastel, instead giving it a punchy, contemporary personality.
Architects and product designers may use RAL 1018 to introduce bold accents in interiors, signage, or consumer goods, especially when aiming for a dynamic, high-contrast visual statement. Outdoors, it remains striking even under strong sunlight due to its strong pigmentation. RAL 1018 is a highly expressive yellow that combines visibility, liveliness, and modernity.
