Vivid Lime Zest

RAL 290 40 25 Vivid Lime Zest occupies hue 290, lightness 40, and chroma 25, a bold high-chroma yellow-lime that captures the electric intensity of freshly grated lime zest and the vivid glow of spring buds breaking through bark. Designers choose it for juice bar interior elements, creative brand accent surfaces, and bold architectural feature walls. The strong chroma at moderate-dark lightness delivers a colour that is both invigorating and strikingly fresh in any built environment.
