Sweet Dreams vs Pastel blue

Sweet DreamsPPGvsPastel blueRAL ClassicΔE 20.7Distinct difference

Sweet Dreams (PPG) and Pastel blue (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 26-point LRV gap — 55 for Sweet Dreams vs 29 for Pastel blue — means Sweet Dreams will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 20.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
