Oyster vs RAL 180-1
Oyster is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 180-1 comes from RAL Effect. Oyster reads as white, while RAL 180-1 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 80 vs 49, Oyster will read as the brighter of the two — a 32-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 19.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
