Merry Music vs RAL 840-2
Where Merry Music belongs to PPG's range, RAL 840-2 is a RAL Effect color. Merry Music reads as yellow, while RAL 840-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 840-2 (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Merry Music (LRV 63), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
