Starry Night vs RAL 640-4

Starry NightPPGvsRAL 640-4RAL EffectΔE 4.3Noticeable difference

Starry Night is a PPG color while RAL 640-4 comes from RAL Effect. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 13 vs 7, Starry Night will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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. 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.
