RAL 300 30 20

Rich Olive

RAL 300 30 20 Rich Olive is positioned at hue 300, lightness 30, and chroma 20, a deep high-chroma lime green that channels the concentrated vibrancy of freshly pressed olive oil and the warm glow of unripe limes in Mediterranean sunlight. It is specified for olive oil brand packaging, gallery feature wall finishes, and premium organic brand identity elements. The strong chroma at low lightness produces a colour of botanical intensity and dramatic freshness, recalling the prized olive groves of Tuscany and Andalusia.
