Soleil vs RAL 130-5
Where Soleil belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 130-5 is a RAL Effect color. Soleil reads as beige, while RAL 130-5 reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Soleil (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 130-5 (LRV 76), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Soleil vs RAL 130-5 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Soleil on one side and RAL 130-5 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.
