Obsessed vs RAL 470-3

ObsessedPPGvsRAL 470-3RAL EffectΔE 5.2Noticeable difference

Where Obsessed belongs to PPG's range, RAL 470-3 is a RAL Effect color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. RAL 470-3 (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Obsessed (LRV 26), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
