Shadow Blue vs RAL 180-1
Shadow Blue is a Behr color while RAL 180-1 comes from RAL Effect. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 49 vs 44, RAL 180-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
