Flirt vs RAL 780-1 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Flirt on one side and RAL 780-1 on the other.
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.
