Paraffin vs RAL 840-1
Paraffin (PPG) and RAL 840-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 75 vs 77 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 1.2 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
Paraffin vs RAL 840-1 Color Comparison
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.
