RAL 020 90 05
Barely Apricot
RAL 020 90 05 Barely Apricot sits at hue 020, lightness 90, and a chroma of just 05, the lowest chromatic step in this red-orange family, producing a near-white with the slightest apricot cast. It is chosen for bridal event spaces, premium residential interiors, and ceiling finishes where pure white feels too clinical. This colour demonstrates how even minimal chroma at high lightness can transform the emotional quality of a surface.
