RAL 690-5 vs Royal
RAL 690-5 is a RAL Effect color while Royal comes from Tikkurila. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 9 vs 5, Royal will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 12.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
