Xavier Blue vs Pastel blue

Xavier BluePPGvsPastel blueRAL ClassicΔE 16.0Distinct difference

Xavier Blue (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 15-point LRV gap — 44 for Xavier Blue vs 29 for Pastel blue — means Xavier Blue will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 16.0 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.
