Pure orangeRAL ClassicvsTraffic blueRAL ClassicΔE 114.0Very different colors

Pure orange and Traffic blue come from the same RAL Classic collection. Hue-wise, Pure orange belongs to the beige family and Traffic blue to the blue family. The 13-point LRV gap — 25 for Pure orange vs 11 for Traffic blue — means Pure orange will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 114.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
