Ruby Red vs RAL 180-1

The 33-point LRV gap — 49 for RAL 180-1 vs 16 for Ruby Red — means RAL 180-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 84.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
