Cherry Malt vs RAL 340-1
Cherry Malt is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 340-1 comes from RAL Effect. These are both pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink to land. At LRV 42 vs 38, RAL 340-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
