Golden Lab vs RAL 180-1
Golden Lab (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 180-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Golden Lab belongs to the beige family and RAL 180-1 to the blue family. The 21-point LRV gap — 69 for Golden Lab vs 49 for RAL 180-1 — means Golden Lab will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 36.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
