Fusion vs RAL 740-M
Fusion is a Jotun color while RAL 740-M comes from RAL Effect. Fusion reads as blue, while RAL 740-M reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 12 and 11, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 14.7, 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-M in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Fusion and RAL 740-M 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. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Fusion vs RAL 740-M Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fusion on one side and RAL 740-M on the other.
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.
