Mulberry Wine vs RAL 340-2

Mulberry WineBenjamin MoorevsRAL 340-2RAL EffectΔE 2.6Subtle difference

Where Mulberry Wine belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 340-2 is a RAL Effect color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (28 vs 30), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
