Cocoa NutmegBehrvsRAL 150-MRAL EffectΔE 11.5Distinct difference

Cocoa Nutmeg is a Behr color while RAL 150-M comes from RAL Effect. Hue-wise, Cocoa Nutmeg belongs to the beige-pink family and RAL 150-M to the beige-greige family. At LRV 33 vs 26, RAL 150-M will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 11.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
