RAL 290 70 25

Light Citron Cream

RAL 290 70 25 Light Citron Cream is positioned at hue 290, lightness 70, and chroma 25, a lively luminous yellow-lime that radiates the fresh brilliance of citron-infused cream and the warm glow of sunlit grape leaves in early summer. It is widely used for children's space feature walls, creative studio interiors, and dynamic retail environment features. The elevated lightness combined with moderate-high chroma produces a colour that feels both fresh and joyfully alive.
