Scenic Drive vs RAL 180-1

Scenic DriveBenjamin MoorevsRAL 180-1RAL EffectΔE 14.8Distinct difference

Scenic Drive is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 180-1 comes from RAL Effect. Scenic Drive reads as green-grey, while RAL 180-1 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 49 vs 40, RAL 180-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 14.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
