Soft Salmon vs RAL 420-1
Soft Salmon is a PPG color while RAL 420-1 comes from RAL Effect. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 52 vs 48, RAL 420-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
