RAL 180 65 15

Pale Orchid Pink

RAL 180 65 15 Pale Orchid Pink occupies hue 180, lightness 65, and a moderate chroma of 15, a desaturated warm red-violet that recalls the delicate tones of moth orchid petals and the blush of quartz in morning light. It is a natural fit for Scandinavian-inspired interiors, natural stone colour palettes, and understated residential wall finishes. This pale orchid pink brings subtle floral warmth to neutral schemes without disrupting their calm, muted character.
