quoted out the Cessna 402 information manual "ISA... International standard atmosphere in which the air is a dry perfect gas..."

its been a while since I played with a density altitude calculator, but i remember trying to input all the standard day values, and when it came to RH, 0 did not produce field elevation for DA, it was about 20% in order to get sea level/PA/DA to all be close to equal

All the calculators I pulled want dew point, not RH. Picking -300F would give a 0 DA. Remember to put in 29.921

Wiki also answers it nicely, with less jargon.

In short, RH doesn't play a roll.
