RAL 650-1 vs H356

RAL 650-1RAL EffectvsH356TikkurilaΔE 13.9Distinct difference

RAL 650-1 (RAL Effect) and H356 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 15-point LRV gap — 51 for H356 vs 36 for RAL 650-1 — means H356 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 13.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
