Sapphire blue vs Antique White

RAL Classic
·
Jotun

Sapphire blue is a RAL Classic color while Antique White comes from Jotun. At LRV 56 vs 6, Antique White will read as the brighter of the two — a 50-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 64.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
