Pure red vs Turquoise blue

Pure redRAL ClassicvsTurquoise blueRAL ClassicΔE 105.9Very different colors

Pure red and Turquoise blue come from the same RAL Classic collection. Pure red reads as pink-red, while Turquoise blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 23 for Turquoise blue vs 17 for Pure red — means Turquoise blue will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 105.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
