Soft Fennel

RAL 070 60 10 Soft Fennel occupies hue 070, lightness 60, and a low chroma of 10, a desaturated warm neutral that hovers between green-yellow and warm grey. It is a natural fit for Scandinavian-inspired interiors, natural stone colour palettes, and understated residential wall finishes. This soft fennel tone brings subtle organic warmth to neutral schemes without disrupting their calm, muted character.
