Bleeding Heart vs RAL 460-3
Where Bleeding Heart belongs to PPG's range, RAL 460-3 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Bleeding Heart (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 460-3 (LRV 25), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
