Red Cedar vs RAL 450-3
Red Cedar is a PPG color while RAL 450-3 comes from RAL Effect. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. At LRV 32 vs 29, RAL 450-3 will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
