RAL 320 85 05
Whisper Oat
RAL 320 85 05 Whisper Oat is positioned at hue 320, lightness 85, and a minimal chroma of 05, an ultra-subtle olive-yellow tone that reads almost as a warm white with the faintest oat-grain tint. It is specified for minimalist interior schemes, premium ceiling finishes, and gallery spaces where absolute white feels too stark. This near-neutral oat adds organic softness to a space without introducing obvious colour.
Color Reference
