RAL 730-4 vs Mosaic

RAL 730-4RAL EffectvsMosaicTikkurilaΔE 9.9Noticeable difference

Where RAL 730-4 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Mosaic is a Tikkurila color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. RAL 730-4 (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Mosaic (LRV 30), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
