Taupetone vs RAL 780-5
Taupetone is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 780-5 comes from RAL Effect. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 29 vs 23, RAL 780-5 will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
