RAL 190-6 vs Aquaverde

RAL 190-6RAL EffectvsAquaverdeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 0.7Imperceptible difference

Where RAL 190-6 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Aquaverde is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (48 vs 49), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 0.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

RAL 190-6 vs Aquaverde in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. RAL 190-6 and Aquaverde 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
