Yellow LotusBenjamin MoorevsRAL 280-1RAL EffectΔE 5.0Noticeable difference

Where Yellow Lotus belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 280-1 is a RAL Effect color. Hue-wise, Yellow Lotus belongs to the beige-yellow family and RAL 280-1 to the beige family. Yellow Lotus (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 280-1 (LRV 75), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
