Gibson Gold vs RAL 280-4
Where Gibson Gold belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 280-4 is a RAL Effect color. Gibson Gold reads as beige-yellow, while RAL 280-4 reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 280-4 (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Gibson Gold (LRV 37), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
