RAL 190-M vs Wave

RAL 190-MRAL EffectvsWaveTikkurilaΔE 6.8Noticeable difference

Where RAL 190-M belongs to RAL Effect's range, Wave is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Wave (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 190-M (LRV 40), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
