Sunny Afternoon vs RAL 260-3
Sunny Afternoon is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 260-3 comes from RAL Effect. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. With LRVs of 61 and 61, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 4.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
