RAL 260 80 15

Cloud Butter

RAL 260 80 15 Cloud Butter is defined by hue 260, lightness 80, and chroma 15, a luminous pastel warm orange that captures the soft glow of butter-tinted clouds and the translucent warmth of golden 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.
