RAL 340-1 vs Intuitive

RAL 340-1RAL EffectvsIntuitiveSherwin-WilliamsΔE 4.4Noticeable difference

RAL 340-1 is a RAL Effect color while Intuitive comes from Sherwin-Williams. RAL 340-1 reads as pink, while Intuitive reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 42 vs 39, RAL 340-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
