RAL 560-1 vs Enchant
Where RAL 560-1 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Enchant is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Enchant (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 560-1 (LRV 54), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
RAL 560-1 vs Enchant in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. RAL 560-1 and Enchant 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.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Enchant gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Enchant reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Enchant reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Enchant reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

RAL 560-1 vs Enchant Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 560-1 on one side and Enchant on the other.
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.
