Bayville Blue vs RAL 680-1
Where Bayville Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 680-1 is a RAL Effect color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Bayville Blue (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 680-1 (LRV 33), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
