RAL 140 65 15

Pale Forget-Me-Not

RAL 140 65 15 Pale Forget-Me-Not occupies hue 140, lightness 65, and a moderate chroma of 15, a desaturated cool blue that recalls the delicate petals of forget-me-not flowers and hazy spring skies. It is a natural fit for Scandinavian-inspired interiors, natural stone colour palettes, and understated residential wall finishes. This pale blue brings subtle floral coolness to neutral schemes without disrupting their calm, muted character.
