Old Straw Hat vs RAL 130-2
Where Old Straw Hat belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 130-2 is a RAL Effect color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Old Straw Hat (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 130-2 (LRV 82), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
