Shooting Star vs RAL 420-1
Shooting Star is a Cloverdale Paint color while RAL 420-1 comes from RAL Effect. Shooting Star reads as beige-pink, while RAL 420-1 reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 59 vs 52, Shooting Star will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Shooting Star vs RAL 420-1 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Shooting Star and RAL 420-1 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Shooting Star has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Shooting Star gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The brightness difference is modest but present — Shooting Star gives the walls a little more lift.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The brightness difference is modest but present — Shooting Star gives the walls a little more lift.

Shooting Star vs RAL 420-1 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Shooting Star on one side and RAL 420-1 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.
