Watery Blue vs RAL 210-4

Watery BluePPGvsRAL 210-4RAL EffectΔE 2.5Subtle difference

Watery Blue (PPG) and RAL 210-4 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 75 for RAL 210-4 vs 72 for Watery Blue — means RAL 210-4 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. 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. 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.
