Butterscotch BlissPPGvsRAL 290-3RAL EffectΔE 2.6Subtle difference

Where Butterscotch Bliss belongs to PPG's range, RAL 290-3 is a RAL Effect color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (44 vs 43), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
