Kangaroo vs RAL 180-1

KangarooBenjamin MoorevsRAL 180-1RAL EffectΔE 21.8Distinct difference

Kangaroo (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 180-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Kangaroo belongs to the beige-greige family and RAL 180-1 to the blue family. The 5-point LRV gap — 49 for RAL 180-1 vs 44 for Kangaroo — means RAL 180-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 21.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
