Frayed Hessian 2 vs RAL 150-3
Frayed Hessian 2 is a Dulux color while RAL 150-3 comes from RAL Effect. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 75 and 77, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Frayed Hessian 2 vs RAL 150-3 in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Frayed Hessian 2 and RAL 150-3 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.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.

Frayed Hessian 2 vs RAL 150-3 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Frayed Hessian 2 on one side and RAL 150-3 on the other.
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.
