Precious Pink vs RAL 480-3

Precious PinkPPGvsRAL 480-3RAL EffectΔE 5.4Noticeable difference

Where Precious Pink belongs to PPG's range, RAL 480-3 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 480-3 (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Precious Pink (LRV 55), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.

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