Barley vs RAL 130-6
Where Barley belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 130-6 is a RAL Effect color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. RAL 130-6 (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Barley (LRV 68), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Barley on one side and RAL 130-6 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.
