Mayan Gold vs RAL 280-5
Mayan Gold is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 280-5 comes from RAL Effect. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 40 and 39, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
