RAL 230 55 15

Soft Terracotta Rose

RAL 230 55 15 Soft Terracotta Rose sits at hue 230, lightness 55, and chroma 15, a warm gentle red with the comforting softness of sun-faded terracotta and the muted warmth of old rose plaster. 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.
