Sandalwood vs RAL 780-M
Sandalwood is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 780-M comes from RAL Effect. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 33 and 35, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 5.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
