Madeira Red vs RAL 530-2

Madeira RedPPGvsRAL 530-2RAL EffectΔE 2.8Subtle difference

Madeira Red is a PPG color while RAL 530-2 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 10 and 10, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.8, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.
