RAL 420-5 vs Terrakotta
RAL 420-5 (RAL Effect) and Terrakotta (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 18 for RAL 420-5 vs 14 for Terrakotta — means RAL 420-5 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 27.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
