RAL 730-5 vs Mosaic
Where RAL 730-5 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 730-5 (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Mosaic (LRV 30), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
