Turquoise green vs RAL 220-6
Turquoise green (RAL Classic) and RAL 220-6 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue-green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 6-point LRV gap — 13 for Turquoise green vs 7 for RAL 220-6 — means Turquoise green will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 0.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Turquoise green vs RAL 220-6 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Turquoise green and RAL 220-6 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Turquoise green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Turquoise green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Turquoise green vs RAL 220-6 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Turquoise green on one side and RAL 220-6 on the other.
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.
