RAL 130-2 vs RAL 130-5
Both are RAL Effect colors. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. At LRV 82 vs 76, RAL 130-2 will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
RAL 130-2 vs RAL 130-5 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. RAL 130-2 and RAL 130-5 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. RAL 130-2 has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

RAL 130-2 vs RAL 130-5 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 130-2 on one side and RAL 130-5 on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
