Cascade vs RAL 730-1

CascadePPGvsRAL 730-1RAL EffectΔE 2.7Subtle difference

Cascade is a PPG color while RAL 730-1 comes from RAL Effect. Cascade reads as blue-green, while RAL 730-1 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 80 vs 73, Cascade will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
