Magical Merlin vs RAL 610-5
Magical Merlin (PPG) and RAL 610-5 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 11-point LRV gap — 27 for Magical Merlin vs 16 for RAL 610-5 — means Magical Merlin will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
