Party Time vs RAL 440-1
Party Time (Cloverdale Paint) and RAL 440-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 16 for Party Time vs 13 for RAL 440-1 — means Party Time will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Party Time vs RAL 440-1 in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Party Time and RAL 440-1 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.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Party Time has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Digital color is approximate.
