Truffle vs RAL 140-M paint color comparison

Truffle vs RAL 140-M

TruffleBenjamin MoorevsRAL 140-MRAL EffectΔE 8.3Noticeable difference

Truffle (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 140-M (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Truffle reads as beige, while RAL 140-M reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 44 for Truffle vs 35 for RAL 140-M — means Truffle will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 8.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
