Fusion vs RAL 740-5

FusionJotunvsRAL 740-5RAL EffectΔE 24.0Distinct difference

Fusion is a Jotun color while RAL 740-5 comes from RAL Effect. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 12 vs 7, Fusion will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 24.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Fusion vs RAL 740-5 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Fusion and RAL 740-5 in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Fusion has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The brightness difference is modest but present — Fusion gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
