Blush PinkDuluxvsRAL 180-1RAL EffectΔE 17.9Distinct difference

Blush Pink is a Dulux color while RAL 180-1 comes from RAL Effect. Hue-wise, Blush Pink belongs to the beige-pink family and RAL 180-1 to the blue family. At LRV 74 vs 49, Blush Pink will read as the brighter of the two — a 25-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 17.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Blush Pink will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 180-1 would.

Digital color is approximate.

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