Flashy Sapphire vs RAL 180-1
Flashy Sapphire (Behr) and RAL 180-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 41-point LRV gap — 49 for RAL 180-1 vs 8 for Flashy Sapphire — means RAL 180-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 49.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
