Tropical Teal vs RAL 710-3
Where Tropical Teal belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 710-3 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. Tropical Teal (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 710-3 (LRV 12), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 0.4, 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.
