Pink PotionPPGvsRAL 550-2RAL EffectΔE 5.8 — Noticeable difference

Pink Potion is a PPG color while RAL 550-2 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 54 vs 47, RAL 550-2 will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
