Zenith vs RAL 620-2
Where Zenith belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 620-2 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 620-2 (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Zenith (LRV 20), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.7 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.
Zenith vs RAL 620-2 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Zenith and RAL 620-2 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 brightness difference is modest but present — RAL 620-2 gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. RAL 620-2 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. RAL 620-2 reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
