Butter Milk vs RAL 130-5
Butter Milk (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 130-5 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Butter Milk reads as beige, while RAL 130-5 reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 80 for Butter Milk vs 76 for RAL 130-5 — means Butter Milk will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 4.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
