RAL 570-1 vs RAL 570-2
Both from RAL Effect's palette. Both sit in the blue-purple family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 570-1 (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 570-2 (LRV 55), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.8 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.
RAL 570-1 vs RAL 570-2 in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. RAL 570-1 and RAL 570-2 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.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. RAL 570-1 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 570-2.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. RAL 570-1 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 570-2.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. RAL 570-1 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than RAL 570-2.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 570-1 on one side and RAL 570-2 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.
