Merino Wool vs RAL 210-1
Merino Wool is a Behr color while RAL 210-1 comes from RAL Effect. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. With LRVs of 55 and 57, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
