·
RAL Effect

Barn Door (PPG) and RAL 180-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. The 35-point LRV gap — 49 for RAL 180-1 vs 14 for Barn Door — means RAL 180-1 will open up a space more effectively.

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.
