Confetti vs RAL 490-1
Where Confetti belongs to Little Greene's range, RAL 490-1 is a RAL Effect color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. RAL 490-1 (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Confetti (LRV 67), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.3 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.
