Galápagos Turquoise vs RAL 690-5
Where Galápagos Turquoise belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 690-5 is a RAL Effect color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Galápagos Turquoise (LRV 9) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 690-5 (LRV 5), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
