Gentian blue vs RAL 630-4
Where Gentian blue belongs to RAL Classic's range, RAL 630-4 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. Gentian blue (LRV 9) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 630-4 (LRV 6), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
