Lucerne vs RAL 180-1
Lucerne is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 180-1 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 49 vs 14, RAL 180-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 35-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 37.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
