Honey Beige vs RAL 140-5

Honey BeigePPGvsRAL 140-5RAL EffectΔE 1.5Subtle difference

Honey Beige is a PPG color while RAL 140-5 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 80 vs 76, RAL 140-5 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 1.5, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

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