Bonsai Trunk vs RAL 850-5
Bonsai Trunk is a Behr color while RAL 850-5 comes from RAL Effect. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 15 and 14, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
