Banan-Appeal vs RAL 260-1
Where Banan-Appeal belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 260-1 is a RAL Effect color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Banan-Appeal (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 260-1 (LRV 79), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.2 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.
