Teal TouchDuluxvsRAL 720-MRAL EffectΔE 3.5Noticeable difference

Where Teal Touch belongs to Dulux's range, RAL 720-M is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Teal Touch (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 720-M (LRV 16), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.

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