Acorn Yellow vs RAL 780-4
Where Acorn Yellow belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 780-4 is a RAL Effect color. Acorn Yellow reads as beige-yellow, while RAL 780-4 reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 780-4 (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Acorn Yellow (LRV 41), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
