Shorewood vs RAL 140-6
Where Shorewood belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 140-6 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 140-6 (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Shorewood (LRV 56), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Shorewood on one side and RAL 140-6 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.
