RAL 320-5RAL EffectvsTerrakottaTikkurilaΔE 11.1 — Distinct difference

Where RAL 320-5 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Terrakotta is a Tikkurila color. RAL 320-5 reads as beige, while Terrakotta reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Terrakotta (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 320-5 (LRV 10), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 11.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
