Pastel turquoise vs Cloudburst
Where Pastel turquoise belongs to RAL Classic's range, Cloudburst is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Pastel turquoise (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Cloudburst (LRV 26), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
