French Violet vs RAL 570-4
Where French Violet belongs to PPG's range, RAL 570-4 is a RAL Effect color. French Violet reads as blue-purple, while RAL 570-4 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 570-4 (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than French Violet (LRV 30), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
