Watertown vs RAL 610-5
Where Watertown belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 610-5 is a RAL Effect color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Watertown (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 610-5 (LRV 16), a difference of 7 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.
