Blue Viola vs RAL 170-2
Blue Viola is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 170-2 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 46 vs 42, Blue Viola will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
