Dark As Night vs RAL 750-6

Dark As NightPPGvsRAL 750-6RAL EffectΔE 5.3Noticeable difference

Where Dark As Night belongs to PPG's range, RAL 750-6 is a RAL Effect color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (6 vs 5), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 5.3 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.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
