Midsummer's Dream vs RAL 180-2

Midsummer's DreamPPGvsRAL 180-2RAL EffectΔE 4.8Noticeable difference

Midsummer's Dream is a PPG color while RAL 180-2 comes from RAL Effect. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 60 and 58, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 4.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
