How RAL 7034 reads
Yellow grey is a light to mid grey with a yellow olive warmth, warmer than RAL 7030 stone grey. It looks a little like dry grass in winter.
Where it turns up
It suits garden buildings, render, machinery and fences. Warm greys can look beige under artificial light, so view the sample in daylight.
Ordering RAL 7034 in paint or powder
Quote the number, not just the name: say "RAL Classic 7034" and add the gloss level, the product type (wall paint, metal paint, powder, aerosol) and the surface. The same number mixed by two makers, or in two gloss levels, can look slightly different, so keep a whole job in one batch and look at a sample in daylight first. The paint counter guide covers the questions to ask.
