RAL 110 75 15

Pale Ice Blue

RAL 110 75 15 Pale Ice Blue occupies hue 110, lightness 75, and a low chroma of 15, a desaturated cool teal that hovers between ice blue and soft grey. It is a natural fit for Scandinavian-inspired interiors, natural linen colour palettes, and understated residential wall finishes. This pale ice blue tone brings subtle aquatic coolness to neutral schemes without disrupting their calm, muted character.
