RAL 160 70 30

Bright Periwinkle

RAL 160 70 30 Bright Periwinkle is positioned at hue 160, lightness 70, and chroma 30, a lively saturated blue-violet that radiates the fresh brilliance of periwinkle blossoms and sunlit twilight skies. It is widely used for children's space feature walls, creative studio interiors, and dynamic retail environment features. The elevated lightness combined with strong chroma produces a colour that feels both fresh and joyfully optimistic.
