Coastal Crush vs RAL 850-1
Where Coastal Crush belongs to PPG's range, RAL 850-1 is a RAL Effect color. Coastal Crush reads as green-grey, while RAL 850-1 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 850-1 (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Coastal Crush (LRV 50), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
