Oxide red vs RAL 350-6
Oxide red (RAL Classic) and RAL 350-6 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 9 for Oxide red vs 6 for RAL 350-6 — means Oxide red will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.8 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.

Oxide red vs RAL 350-6 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Oxide red on one side and RAL 350-6 on the other.
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.
