Canyon Stone vs RAL 340-3

Canyon StonePPGvsRAL 340-3RAL EffectΔE 7.3 — Noticeable difference

Canyon Stone is a PPG color while RAL 340-3 comes from RAL Effect. These are both pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink to land. At LRV 15 vs 12, Canyon Stone will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 7.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Canyon Stone vs RAL 340-3 in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Canyon Stone and RAL 340-3 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. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
