Where RAL 580-2 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Forget me not is a Tikkurila color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (57 vs 55), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
