RAL 170 50 25

Bright Violet

RAL 170 50 25 Bright Violet is positioned at hue 170, lightness 50, and chroma 25, a vibrant mid-tone violet with the fresh appeal of polished sugilite and the electric glow of twilight storm clouds. Designers specify it for creative branding elements, exhibition graphic panels, and contemporary furniture finishes. The balanced lightness and moderate-high chroma create a colour that is atmospheric, invigorating, and unmistakably expressive.
