Old Burgundy vs Pale brown
Old Burgundy (PPG) and Pale brown (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Old Burgundy reads as pink, while Pale brown reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 13 vs 14 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 14.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
