Clay brown vs Distant blue
Both are RAL Classic colors. Clay brown reads as beige, while Distant blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 16 vs 13, Distant blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 58.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
