RAL 050 65 30

Soft Primrose

RAL 050 65 30 Soft Primrose sits at hue 050, lightness 65, and chroma 30, a warm gentle yellow with the comforting glow of primrose petals in afternoon light. It brings approachable warmth to hospitality interior schemes, patisserie branding elements, and residential living room feature walls. The moderate chroma at mid-high lightness creates a colour that is cheerful yet easy to coordinate with neutral palettes.
