Cornwallis Red vs RAL 450-5
Where Cornwallis Red belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 450-5 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Cornwallis Red (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 450-5 (LRV 10), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
