Steel Me vs RAL 180-1
Steel Me (PPG) and RAL 180-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. The 19-point LRV gap — 68 for Steel Me vs 49 for RAL 180-1 — means Steel Me will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 15.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
Steel Me vs RAL 180-1 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.
