RAL 290 80 15

Light Lime Cream

RAL 290 80 15 Light Lime Cream is defined by hue 290, lightness 80, and chroma 15, a luminous pastel yellow-lime that captures the soft glow of lime-infused cream and the translucent freshness of new grape leaves held to the light. It is specified for children's bedroom walls, event space feature surfaces, and decorative packaging where a gentle, uplifting freshness is desired. The moderate chroma at this light level gives it more presence than a typical pastel while remaining effortlessly soft.
