RAL 330-4RAL EffectvsSnowboundSherwin-WilliamsΔE 66.7Very different colors

RAL 330-4 vs Snowbound in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Seeing RAL 330-4 and Snowbound in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Snowbound returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Snowbound will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 330-4 would.

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.
