RAL 420-2 vs Sockeye
Where RAL 420-2 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Sockeye is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. RAL 420-2 (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Sockeye (LRV 40), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
