Raspberry Ripple vs RAL 490-4
Where Raspberry Ripple belongs to PPG's range, RAL 490-4 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 490-4 (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Raspberry Ripple (LRV 20), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
