Pale Violet vs RAL 170-1
Pale Violet is a PPG color while RAL 170-1 comes from RAL Effect. Pale Violet reads as blue-purple, while RAL 170-1 reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 60 and 58, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 3.0, 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Pale Violet on one side and RAL 170-1 on the other.
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.
