RAL 850-3RAL EffectvsCoastal JettyValsparΔE 2.6Subtle difference

Where RAL 850-3 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Coastal Jetty is a Valspar color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (38 vs 40), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

Digital color is approximate.

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