RAL 310 90 10

Pale Fern Mist

RAL 310 90 10 Pale Fern Mist sits at hue 310, lightness 90, and a chroma of 10, producing a near-white with a gentle green-yellow cast that freshens any surface it touches like morning dew on fern fronds. 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.
