Galaxy vs RAL 790-2
Where Galaxy belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 790-2 is a RAL Effect color. Galaxy reads as grey, while RAL 790-2 reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (6 vs 6), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Galaxy vs RAL 790-2 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Galaxy on one side and RAL 790-2 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.
