RAL 070 25 40

Rich Avocado

RAL 070 25 40 Rich Avocado is positioned at hue 070, lightness 25, and chroma 40, a deep saturated green-yellow that evokes the dark flesh of ripe avocado and dense undergrowth. It is specified for organic market signage, garden tool housings, and nature trail marker posts. The strong chroma at very low lightness produces a colour of concentrated botanical energy and earthy richness.
