RAL 100 65 15

Soft Aqua Mist

RAL 100 65 15 Soft Aqua Mist sits at hue 100, lightness 65, and chroma 15, a warm gentle blue-green with the comforting appeal of morning mist over coastal waters. It brings approachable freshness to hospitality interior schemes, organic brand packaging elements, and residential living room feature walls. The moderate chroma at mid-high lightness creates a colour that is mineral yet easy to coordinate with neutral palettes.
