Salmon Pink vs RAL 490-3
Where Salmon Pink belongs to PPG's range, RAL 490-3 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. Salmon Pink (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 490-3 (LRV 44), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
