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 RAL 260-1 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Fresh Pasta would.

In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. RAL 260-1 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Fresh Pasta.
