RAL 610-5 vs Dazzle
Where RAL 610-5 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Dazzle is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Dazzle (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 610-5 (LRV 16), a difference of 6 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.

RAL 610-5 vs Dazzle in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. RAL 610-5 and Dazzle 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.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Dazzle reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Dazzle reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
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. Dazzle reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
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. Dazzle reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
