Fun in the Sun vs RAL 260-1
Fun in the Sun (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 260-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 82 for Fun in the Sun vs 79 for RAL 260-1 — means Fun in the Sun will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Fun in the Sun vs RAL 260-1 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fun in the Sun on one side and RAL 260-1 on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
