RAL 350 80 10

Whisper Blush Clay

RAL 350 80 10 Whisper Blush Clay occupies hue 350, lightness 80, and a gentle chroma of 10, yielding a soft blush clay tone that warms light surfaces with the delicate atmospheric colour of pale terracotta held to the light. It is a go-to specification for nursery interiors, bridal boutique walls, and pastel-forward colour schemes in residential design. The high lightness and restrained chroma make it a versatile backdrop that pairs with both warm and cool accent colours.
