Summer Clover vs RAL 520-1

Summer CloverPPGvsRAL 520-1RAL EffectΔE 3.2Noticeable difference

Where Summer Clover belongs to PPG's range, RAL 520-1 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the pink family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 520-1 (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Summer Clover (LRV 66), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.2 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. 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.
