RAL 590-1 vs Atlantis
RAL 590-1 is a RAL Effect color while Atlantis comes from Tikkurila. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 16 and 17, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 11.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
