RAL 430-5 vs RAL 440-1

RAL 430-5RAL EffectvsRAL 440-1RAL EffectΔE 5.8Noticeable difference

Both from RAL Effect's palette. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 430-5 (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 440-1 (LRV 13), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

RAL 430-5 vs RAL 440-1 in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. RAL 430-5 and RAL 440-1 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.

Kitchen Cabinets

Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

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.
