Mayan Gold vs RAL 180-1
Mayan Gold (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 180-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Mayan Gold reads as beige, while RAL 180-1 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 49 for RAL 180-1 vs 40 for Mayan Gold — means RAL 180-1 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 62.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
