More info / orderingDescription RAL 7010 Tarpaulin grey
RAL 7010, also known as 'Tarpaulin grey', is a deep, subdued grey that carries a distinctly earthy and utilitarian character. It sits between green and grey, with a muted olive undertone that gives it a natural, grounded presence rather than a cold or purely industrial feel. This subtle warmth makes the color feel restrained and serious, evoking materials exposed to the elements, such as weathered metal, canvas, or stone. Its low saturation allows it to recede visually, making it an excellent background color that supports other tones without competing for attention.
The character of RAL 7010 is associated with durability, reliability, and functionality. It conveys stability and permanence. The color also translates well into contemporary design, where its muted depth adds sophistication and a sense of quiet strength. It avoids the starkness of darker greys and the flatness of lighter ones, offering instead a balanced, middle-to-dark tone that feels purposeful and refined.
RAL 7010 creates a solid, anchoring effect. When used on large surfaces, it can make spaces feel enclosed in a protective, cocoon-like way, especially when paired with natural materials such as wood, leather, or concrete. Under different lighting conditions, its greenish undertone may become more apparent, giving the color a slightly organic shift that adds visual interest without breaking its overall restraint. This adaptability allows it to work equally well in modern, minimalist environments and in more rugged, industrial-inspired spaces.
