Sonia Rose vs RAL 490-2
Sonia Rose (PPG) and RAL 490-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 68 for RAL 490-2 vs 63 for Sonia Rose — means RAL 490-2 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
