Irradiant Iris is a PPG color while RAL 160-1 comes from RAL Effect. Irradiant Iris reads as blue, while RAL 160-1 reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 77 vs 73, RAL 160-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
