RAL 660-2 vs Blue Mosque

RAL 660-2RAL EffectvsBlue MosqueSherwin-WilliamsΔE 5.0Noticeable difference

Where RAL 660-2 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Blue Mosque 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. Blue Mosque (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 660-2 (LRV 14), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

RAL 660-2 vs Blue Mosque in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. RAL 660-2 and Blue Mosque 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

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.
