RAL 410-2 vs RAL 420-4
Both are RAL Effect colors. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 29 vs 24, RAL 410-2 will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
RAL 410-2 vs RAL 420-4 in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. RAL 410-2 and RAL 420-4 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. RAL 410-2 has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The brightness difference is modest but present — RAL 410-2 gives the walls a little more lift.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The brightness difference is modest but present — RAL 410-2 gives the walls a little more lift.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — RAL 410-2 gives the walls a little more lift.

RAL 410-2 vs RAL 420-4 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 410-2 on one side and RAL 420-4 on the other.
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.
