RAL 290 75 10

Soft Meadow Dew

RAL 290 75 10 Soft Meadow Dew is positioned at hue 290, lightness 75, and chroma 10, a gentle muted yellow-lime with the quiet freshness of morning dew on meadow grass and the soft glow of sun-bleached linen. It is widely used for nursery interior walls, bridal boutique surfaces, and pastel-forward colour schemes in residential design. The restrained chroma at this light level gives it a timeless, pastoral quality that pairs beautifully with natural wood and woven textiles.
