Polar Lights vs RAL 130-2
Where Polar Lights belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 130-2 is a RAL Effect color. Polar Lights reads as yellow, while RAL 130-2 reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 130-2 (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Polar Lights (LRV 79), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Polar Lights vs RAL 130-2 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Polar Lights on one side and RAL 130-2 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.
