RAL 120 60 40

Bright Cyan

RAL 120 60 40 Bright Cyan is positioned at hue 120, lightness 60, and chroma 40, a vivid high-chroma cyan that radiates the electric brilliance of tropical reef shallows and polished chrysocolla. It is widely used for exhibition graphic panels, creative studio feature walls, and dynamic retail environment features. The elevated lightness combined with high chroma produces a colour that feels both fresh and energetically optimistic.
