Yellow Marigold vs RAL 290-5
Where Yellow Marigold belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 290-5 is a RAL Effect color. Yellow Marigold reads as beige-yellow, while RAL 290-5 reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 290-5 (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Yellow Marigold (LRV 42), 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.
