Barn Red vs RAL 340-4
Where Barn Red belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 340-4 is a RAL Effect color. Barn Red reads as pink-red, while RAL 340-4 reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 340-4 (LRV 7) reflects noticeably more light than Barn Red (LRV 0), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.8 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.
