Rose Lace vs RAL 490-1
Rose Lace is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 490-1 comes from RAL Effect. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. At LRV 70 vs 59, RAL 490-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 11-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
