Icing on the CakeBenjamin MoorevsRAL 210-4RAL EffectΔE 3.5Noticeable difference

Icing on the Cake is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 210-4 comes from RAL Effect. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 82 vs 75, Icing on the Cake will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
