RAL 210-1 vs Ancient Marble
Where RAL 210-1 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Ancient Marble is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Ancient Marble (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 210-1 (LRV 57), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
