RAL 250 80 15

Cloud Nectar

RAL 250 80 15 Cloud Nectar is defined by hue 250, lightness 80, and chroma 15, a luminous pastel orange that captures the soft glow of nectar-tinted clouds and the translucent warmth of honey calcite held to the light. It is specified for children's bedroom walls, event space feature surfaces, and decorative packaging where a gentle, uplifting warmth is desired. The moderate chroma at this light level gives it more presence than a typical pastel while remaining effortlessly soft.
