RAL 080 90 10

Barely Garden

RAL 080 90 10 Barely Garden sits at hue 080, lightness 90, and a chroma of 10, a near-white with a gentle garden-green cast that softens clinical white surfaces. It is chosen for bridal event spaces, premium residential interiors, and ceiling finishes where pure white feels too stark. This colour demonstrates how even minimal chroma at high lightness can transform the emotional quality of a surface.
