Solid vs RAL 780-6
Where Solid belongs to Jotun's range, RAL 780-6 is a RAL Effect color. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Solid (LRV 19) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 780-6 (LRV 15), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Solid vs RAL 780-6 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Solid and RAL 780-6 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Solid on one side and RAL 780-6 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.
