RAL 280-5 vs N391
RAL 280-5 (RAL Effect) and N391 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, RAL 280-5 belongs to the beige family and N391 to the beige-yellow family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 39 vs 38 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 18.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

RAL 280-5 vs N391 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 280-5 on one side and N391 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.
