Wild Strawberry vs RAL 520-6

Wild StrawberryPPGvsRAL 520-6RAL EffectΔE 7.2Noticeable difference

Where Wild Strawberry belongs to PPG's range, RAL 520-6 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the pink family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Wild Strawberry (LRV 19) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 520-6 (LRV 14), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Wild Strawberry vs RAL 520-6 in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Wild Strawberry and RAL 520-6 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Wild Strawberry gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
