Light Mulberry vs RAL 520-2

Light MulberryPPGvsRAL 520-2RAL EffectΔE 5.4 — Noticeable difference

Light Mulberry is a PPG color while RAL 520-2 comes from RAL Effect. Both sit in the pink family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 59 vs 53, RAL 520-2 will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
