River Rouge vs RAL 450-2
River Rouge (PPG) and RAL 450-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 7-point LRV gap — 50 for RAL 450-2 vs 43 for River Rouge — means RAL 450-2 will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
