Trailing Vines vs RAL 780-6

Trailing VinesBenjamin MoorevsRAL 780-6RAL EffectΔE 5.9Noticeable difference

Trailing Vines is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 780-6 comes from RAL Effect. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. With LRVs of 14 and 15, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 5.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Trailing Vines vs RAL 780-6 in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Trailing Vines and RAL 780-6 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
