Halo vs RAL 840-1
Halo is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 840-1 comes from RAL Effect. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 77 vs 72, RAL 840-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Halo vs RAL 840-1 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Halo and RAL 840-1 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. RAL 840-1 has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
