Percale vs RAL 840-1
Percale is a PPG color while RAL 840-1 comes from RAL Effect. Percale reads as beige, while RAL 840-1 reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 81 vs 77, Percale 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 2.5, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

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.
