Sandblast vs RAL 340-1
Where Sandblast belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 340-1 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the pink family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 340-1 (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Sandblast (LRV 38), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Sandblast vs RAL 340-1 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sandblast on one side and RAL 340-1 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.
