RAL 310 65 15

Soft Garden Mint

RAL 310 65 15 Soft Garden Mint occupies hue 310, lightness 65, and chroma 15, a gentle luminous green-yellow with the delicate freshness of garden mint leaves and the soft glow of sun-dappled herb borders. It brings approachable freshness to hospitality interior schemes, organic brand packaging elements, and residential living room feature walls. The moderate chroma at mid-high lightness creates a colour that is atmospheric yet easy to coordinate with neutral palettes.
