Bay Coral vs RAL 460-2
Bay Coral (Cloverdale Paint) and RAL 460-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 35 vs 34 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 6.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Bay Coral vs RAL 460-2 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Bay Coral and RAL 460-2 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.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
