RAL 590-6 vs L356
RAL 590-6 (RAL Effect) and L356 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 12 for L356 vs 4 for RAL 590-6 — means L356 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 21.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
