Wythe Gold vs RAL 280-3
Where Wythe Gold belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 280-3 is a RAL Effect color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. RAL 280-3 (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Wythe Gold (LRV 50), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
