RAL 090 85 10

Whisper Dew

RAL 090 85 10 Whisper Dew is positioned at hue 090, lightness 85, and a minimal chroma of 10, an ultra-subtle dew tone that reads almost as a cool white with the faintest green tint. It is specified for luxury bathroom surfaces, gallery walls requiring a hint of natural coolness, and high-end residential ceilings. This near-neutral dew adds organic softness to a space without introducing obvious colour.
