Golden Straw vs RAL 250-1
Where Golden Straw belongs to PPG's range, RAL 250-1 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Golden Straw (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 250-1 (LRV 75), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
