RAL 470-3 vs Grenadine
RAL 470-3 is a RAL Effect color while Grenadine comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. At LRV 30 vs 26, RAL 470-3 will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
