New Age vs RAL 870-1
New Age is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 870-1 comes from RAL Effect. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 63 and 64, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

New Age vs RAL 870-1 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see New Age on one side and RAL 870-1 on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
