RAL 740-M vs Raging Sea
Where RAL 740-M belongs to RAL Effect's range, Raging Sea is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blue-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-green to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (11 vs 14), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions.
