Eastern Wind vs RAL 730-1
Eastern Wind (Cloverdale Paint) and RAL 730-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 7-point LRV gap — 80 for Eastern Wind vs 73 for RAL 730-1 — means Eastern Wind will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

Eastern Wind vs RAL 730-1 in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Eastern Wind and RAL 730-1 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Eastern Wind reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
