Forest Found vs RAL 130-5
Where Forest Found belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 130-5 is a RAL Effect color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. RAL 130-5 (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Forest Found (LRV 72), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
