Touch Of Blue vs RAL 180-3

Touch Of BluePPGvsRAL 180-3RAL EffectΔE 1.8Subtle difference

Where Touch Of Blue belongs to PPG's range, RAL 180-3 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (67 vs 68), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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