Lake View vs RAL 180-1
Where Lake View belongs to Jotun's range, RAL 180-1 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Lake View (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 180-1 (LRV 49), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
