Mardi Gras Gold vs RAL 290-6
Mardi Gras Gold is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 290-6 comes from RAL Effect. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 48 vs 44, Mardi Gras Gold 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 2.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
