RAL 270-3 vs Forsythia
Where RAL 270-3 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Forsythia 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. Forsythia (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 270-3 (LRV 49), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
