Andes Sky vs RAL 710-1
Where Andes Sky belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 710-1 is a RAL Effect color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Andes Sky (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 710-1 (LRV 47), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Andes Sky vs RAL 710-1 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Andes Sky and RAL 710-1 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Andes Sky will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 710-1 would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Andes Sky reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 710-1.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Andes Sky reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 710-1.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Andes Sky reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 710-1.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Andes Sky on one side and RAL 710-1 on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
