RAL 370-2 vs Mandarin
Where RAL 370-2 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Mandarin is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 370-2 (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Mandarin (LRV 38), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
