RAL 170 45 20
Warm Orchid
RAL 170 45 20 Warm Orchid sits at hue 170, lightness 45, and chroma 20, a mid-dark violet with earthy warmth reminiscent of wild orchid petals and the shadowed interior of amethyst geodes. It is specified for boutique interior elements, heritage millwork finishes, and spa reception area surfaces. The balanced chroma and moderate darkness produce a colour that feels botanical, grounded, and connected to the natural world.
