Clear Skies vs RAL 210-4

Clear SkiesDuluxvsRAL 210-4RAL EffectΔE 2.2Subtle difference

Where Clear Skies belongs to Dulux's range, RAL 210-4 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (75 vs 75), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Clear Skies vs RAL 210-4 in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Clear Skies and RAL 210-4 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.

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. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

Digital color is approximate.

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