RAL 290-5 vs Overjoy
RAL 290-5 (RAL Effect) and Overjoy (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 12-point LRV gap — 58 for Overjoy vs 45 for RAL 290-5 — means Overjoy will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 10.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
