Bluette vs RAL 670-3

BluetteCloverdale PaintvsRAL 670-3RAL EffectΔE 7.1Noticeable difference

Where Bluette belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 670-3 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Bluette (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 670-3 (LRV 47), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bluette vs RAL 670-3 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Bluette and RAL 670-3 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.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. 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.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
