Gentle Lamb vs RAL 180-1 Color Comparison
Digital color is approximate.

Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Gentle Lamb returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
