RAL 260 70 15

Pale Vanilla

RAL 260 70 15 Pale Vanilla is defined by hue 260, lightness 70, and chroma 15, a warm luminous warm orange with the gentle glow of vanilla-tinted cream and the soft warmth of sun-warmed limestone. It is specified for bedroom feature walls, spa and wellness interiors, and decorative ceramic glazes where a calming confectionery warmth is desired. This pale vanilla tone works harmoniously with natural wood, linen textiles, and matte brass accents.
