Curry vs RAL 270-M
Where Curry belongs to RAL Classic's range, RAL 270-M 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-M (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Curry (LRV 26), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 11.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
