Tropical Holiday vs RAL 730-2
Tropical Holiday (PPG) and RAL 730-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 53 vs 54 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 4.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
