Peony is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 510-5 comes from RAL Effect. Peony reads as pink-red, while RAL 510-5 reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 19 and 16, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 8.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Peony vs RAL 510-5 in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Peony and RAL 510-5 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Peony vs RAL 510-5 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Peony on one side and RAL 510-5 on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
