Gorgeous Hydrangea vs RAL 570-4

Gorgeous Hydrangea (Cloverdale Paint) and RAL 570-4 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Gorgeous Hydrangea reads as blue-purple, while RAL 570-4 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 35 vs 35 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 3.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Gorgeous Hydrangea vs RAL 570-4 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Gorgeous Hydrangea and RAL 570-4 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. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Digital color is approximate.

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