RAL 180 80 15

Cloud Blush Violet

RAL 180 80 15 Cloud Blush Violet occupies hue 180, lightness 80, and a gentle chroma of 15, yielding a soft blush-violet tone that warms light surfaces with the delicate atmospheric colour of cherry blossom petals at dusk. It is a go-to specification for nursery interiors, bridal boutique walls, and pastel-forward colour schemes in residential design. The high lightness and moderate chroma make it a versatile backdrop that pairs with both warm and cool accent colours.
