Rain Cloud vs RAL 210-3
Where Rain Cloud belongs to PPG's range, RAL 210-3 is a RAL Effect color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (75 vs 76), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
