Soft Sky Mist

RAL 120 65 10 Soft Sky Mist occupies hue 120, lightness 65, and a low chroma of 10, a desaturated cool neutral that hovers between cyan and neutral grey. It is a natural fit for Scandinavian-inspired interiors, natural stone colour palettes, and understated residential wall finishes. This soft sky mist brings subtle oceanic coolness to neutral schemes without disrupting their calm, muted character.
