About RAL 040 50 70
The maximum lies here and not darker or lighter, and that is systematic. Saturation needs light to be visible and pigment to be carried; too dark and too little comes back, too light and too much white plays through. The optimum lies around the middle.
Where the red hues stop at 50 to 60, this one runs on to 70. The shift towards orange yields ever more headroom, and that continues into the yellow region.
