RAL 160 65 15

Pale Lilac Blue

RAL 160 65 15 Pale Lilac Blue occupies hue 160, lightness 65, and a moderate chroma of 15, a desaturated cool blue-violet that recalls the delicate tones of lilac buds and hazy spring skies. It is a natural fit for Scandinavian-inspired interiors, natural stone colour palettes, and understated residential wall finishes. This pale lilac blue brings subtle floral coolness to neutral schemes without disrupting their calm, muted character.
