Pavilion TanCloverdale PaintvsRAL 150-MRAL EffectΔE 5.8Noticeable difference

Where Pavilion Tan belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, RAL 150-M is a RAL Effect color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (32 vs 33), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 5.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Pavilion Tan vs RAL 150-M in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Pavilion Tan and RAL 150-M are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Digital color is approximate.

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