Pony Tail vs RAL 780-3
Where Pony Tail belongs to PPG's range, RAL 780-3 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. RAL 780-3 (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Pony Tail (LRV 50), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
