Mediterranean Blue vs RAL 660-1

Mediterranean BluePPGvsRAL 660-1RAL EffectΔE 2.8Subtle difference

Mediterranean Blue is a PPG color while RAL 660-1 comes from RAL Effect. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 24 vs 15, Mediterranean Blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. 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.
