RAL 870-1 vs Sensitive Tint
Where RAL 870-1 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Sensitive Tint is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. RAL 870-1 (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Sensitive Tint (LRV 59), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
