Sweet IllusionPPGvsRAL 180-6RAL EffectΔE 2.4Subtle difference

Where Sweet Illusion belongs to PPG's range, RAL 180-6 is a RAL Effect color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (80 vs 78), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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