RAL 290 90 10

Pale Lime Mist

RAL 290 90 10 Pale Lime Mist sits at hue 290, lightness 90, and a chroma of 10, producing a near-white with a gentle lime cast that freshens any surface it touches like morning dew on spring leaves. It is chosen for bridal event spaces, premium residential interiors, and ceiling finishes where pure white feels too clinical. This colour demonstrates how even modest chroma at high lightness can transform the emotional quality of a room with gentle botanical freshness.
