About RAL 010 50 50
That decline towards the light side has the same cause as the decline towards the dark side. Saturation means distance from the grey axis, and that distance can only be covered if there is colour to work with. Add white and that colour is diluted; add black and too little light is left.
This shade is therefore the lightest point at which this hue is still genuinely intense — for anyone looking for a bright, powerful carmine without ending up in the dark region.
