Frozen Canal vs RAL 170-2
Where Frozen Canal belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 170-2 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Frozen Canal (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 170-2 (LRV 42), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
