RAL 130-4RAL EffectvsRAL 340-4RAL EffectΔE 68.2Very different colors

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.
