Salmon pink vs Tomato red

Salmon pinkRAL ClassicvsTomato redRAL ClassicΔE 21.3Distinct difference

Both are RAL Classic colors. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. At LRV 25 vs 11, Salmon pink will read as the brighter of the two — a 14-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 21.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
