RAL 330-2 vs Sierra Redwood

RAL 330-2 (RAL Effect) and Sierra Redwood (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. RAL 330-2 reads as beige-pink, while Sierra Redwood reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 11 vs 12 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 2.7 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.

RAL 330-2 vs Sierra Redwood in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. RAL 330-2 and Sierra Redwood 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.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

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. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

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.
