RAL 530-1 vs Red Bay
Where RAL 530-1 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Red Bay 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 530-1 (LRV 11) reflects noticeably more light than Red Bay (LRV 9), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
