Dark Chocolate vs RAL 840-6
Dark Chocolate (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 840-6 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 10 for Dark Chocolate vs 6 for RAL 840-6 — means Dark Chocolate will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
