York Ivory vs RAL 780-3

York IvoryPPGvsRAL 780-3RAL EffectΔE 2.7Subtle difference

Where York Ivory 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. York Ivory (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 780-3 (LRV 57), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
