RAL 9018
Papyrus White
RAL 9018 Papyrus White is a soft, greenish off-white named after the ancient Egyptian writing material. This gentle, calming shade provides a warmer, more comfortable alternative to stark white in institutional and industrial environments. Papyrus White is widely used in medical facilities, educational buildings, and industrial interiors where a bright but non-fatiguing background color is needed. Its subtle green undertone has been shown to promote calm and reduce stress in clinical settings.
