Tara vs RAL 480-3
Where Tara belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 480-3 is a RAL Effect color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. RAL 480-3 (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Tara (LRV 53), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.7 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Tara on one side and RAL 480-3 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.
