RAL 180 55 20
Soft Mauve
RAL 180 55 20 Soft Mauve sits at hue 180, lightness 55, and chroma 20, a warm gentle red-violet with the comforting appeal of old-fashioned mauve roses and the soft interior of seashells. It brings approachable warmth to hospitality interior schemes, organic brand packaging elements, and residential living room feature walls. The moderate chroma at mid-high lightness creates a colour that is atmospheric yet easy to coordinate with neutral palettes.
