Vivid Vision vs RAL 560-6
Vivid Vision is a Cloverdale Paint color while RAL 560-6 comes from RAL Effect. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 18 vs 11, RAL 560-6 will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 9.5, 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.
Vivid Vision vs RAL 560-6 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Vivid Vision and RAL 560-6 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. RAL 560-6 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 — RAL 560-6 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 — RAL 560-6 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 — RAL 560-6 gives the walls a little more lift.

Vivid Vision vs RAL 560-6 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Vivid Vision on one side and RAL 560-6 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.
