RAL 160-4 vs Piazza in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. RAL 160-4 and Piazza 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.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. RAL 160-4 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Piazza.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. RAL 160-4 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
