Baltimore Sky vs RAL 180-1

Baltimore SkyBenjamin MoorevsRAL 180-1RAL EffectΔE 26.2Very different colors

Baltimore Sky is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 180-1 comes from RAL Effect. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 49 vs 37, RAL 180-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 26.2, 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
