RAL 610-4 vs H356
RAL 610-4 is a RAL Effect color while H356 comes from Tikkurila. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 51 vs 40, H356 will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 7.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 610-4 on one side and H356 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.
