Snowfall White is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 180-1 comes from RAL Effect. Snowfall White reads as white-yellow, while RAL 180-1 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Digital color is approximate.

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