Barely Glacier

RAL 120 88 05 Barely Glacier sits at hue 120, lightness 88, and a chroma of just 05, producing a near-white with the slightest glacial cast. It is chosen for bridal event spaces, premium residential interiors, and ceiling finishes where pure white feels too clinical. This colour demonstrates how even minimal chroma at high lightness can transform the emotional quality of a surface.
