Spiced Butternut vs RAL 270-1
Where Spiced Butternut belongs to PPG's range, RAL 270-1 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 270-1 (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Spiced Butternut (LRV 70), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
