DubloonCloverdale PaintvsRAL 780-4RAL EffectΔE 1.6Subtle difference

With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

Dubloon vs RAL 780-4 in Real Spaces

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Dubloon has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
