RAL 240-1 vs Primavera
Where RAL 240-1 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Primavera is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. RAL 240-1 (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Primavera (LRV 60), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
