Sunnyside vs RAL 260-4
Where Sunnyside belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 260-4 is a RAL Effect color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Sunnyside (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 260-4 (LRV 49), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.2 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.
Sunnyside vs RAL 260-4 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Sunnyside and RAL 260-4 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Sunnyside will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 260-4 would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Sunnyside reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 260-4.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Sunnyside reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 260-4.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Sunnyside reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 260-4.

Digital color is approximate.
