RAL 060 35 40

Rich Chartreuse

RAL 060 35 40 Rich Chartreuse is defined by hue 060, lightness 35, and chroma 40, a bold high-chroma dark yellow-green that captures the intensity of unripe citrus peel and fresh herb concentrate. Designers choose it for organic brand accent elements, botanical illustration frame finishes, and garden architectural features. The strong chroma at moderate-dark lightness delivers a colour that is both natural and strikingly vivid.
