Moody Mauve vs RAL 480-M
Where Moody Mauve belongs to PPG's range, RAL 480-M is a RAL Effect color. These are both pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink to land. RAL 480-M (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Moody Mauve (LRV 21), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
