Calypso Berry vs RAL 440-1 paint color comparison

Calypso Berry vs RAL 440-1

Calypso BerryPPGvsRAL 440-1RAL EffectΔE 9.8Noticeable difference

Calypso Berry is a PPG color while RAL 440-1 comes from RAL Effect. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 15 and 13, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 9.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
