RAL 100 35 40

Vivid Teal

RAL 100 35 40 Vivid Teal is defined by hue 100, lightness 35, and chroma 40, a bold high-chroma dark blue-green that captures the intensity of deep teal water and polished malachite. Designers choose it for eco-brand accent elements, aquatic facility colour markings, and garden architectural features. The strong chroma at moderate-dark lightness delivers a colour that is both mineral and strikingly vivid.
