RAL 140 90 10
Barely Cornflower
RAL 140 90 10 Barely Cornflower sits at hue 140, lightness 90, and a chroma of 10, producing a near-white with a gentle cornflower 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 modest chroma at high lightness can transform the emotional quality of a surface.
