Blue Calico vs RAL 570-M
Blue Calico (PPG) and RAL 570-M (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Blue Calico reads as blue, while RAL 570-M reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 16 for Blue Calico vs 13 for RAL 570-M — means Blue Calico will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
