Carmine vs RAL 510-3
Carmine (Little Greene) and RAL 510-3 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Carmine reads as pink-red, while RAL 510-3 reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 11-point LRV gap — 36 for RAL 510-3 vs 25 for Carmine — means RAL 510-3 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 30.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
