Agave vs RAL 240-2
Where Agave belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 240-2 is a RAL Effect color. Agave reads as beige-greige, while RAL 240-2 reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (37 vs 38), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Agave vs RAL 240-2 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Agave on one side and RAL 240-2 on the other.
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.
