RAL 110 45 20

Warm Lagoon

RAL 110 45 20 Warm Lagoon sits at hue 110, lightness 45, and chroma 20, a warm earthy mid-dark teal reminiscent of sheltered lagoon waters and weathered copper roofing. It is specified for coastal interior elements, spa facility millwork, and natural material colour coordination. The moderate chroma and darkness produce a colour that feels mineral, grounded, and connected to maritime landscapes.
