Ginseng vs RAL 140-6

GinsengJotunvsRAL 140-6RAL EffectΔE 2.6Subtle difference

Ginseng is a Jotun color while RAL 140-6 comes from RAL Effect. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 66 vs 62, RAL 140-6 will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Ginseng vs RAL 140-6 in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Ginseng and RAL 140-6 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

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. RAL 140-6 has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
