Crystal Springs vs RAL 190-3
Where Crystal Springs belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 190-3 is a RAL Effect color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Crystal Springs (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 190-3 (LRV 67), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
