Shrimp Toast vs RAL 140-1

Shrimp ToastPPGvsRAL 140-1RAL EffectΔE 6.4Noticeable difference

Shrimp Toast (PPG) and RAL 140-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 9-point LRV gap — 70 for RAL 140-1 vs 61 for Shrimp Toast — means RAL 140-1 will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 6.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
