Serendipity vs RAL 720-1
Serendipity is a PPG color while RAL 720-1 comes from RAL Effect. Hue-wise, Serendipity belongs to the blue-green family and RAL 720-1 to the blue family. With LRVs of 69 and 69, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.6, 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.

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