RAL 320 45 30

Bright Reed Green

RAL 320 45 30 Bright Reed Green is positioned at hue 320, lightness 45, and chroma 30, a vivid high-chroma olive-yellow that radiates the fresh brilliance of sunlit reed beds and the warm glow of pressed rapeseed oil. Designers specify it for botanical branding elements, eco-resort accent surfaces, and contemporary garden furniture finishes. The balanced lightness and high chroma create a colour that is both natural and strikingly expressive.
