RAL 770-M vs Sawdust
RAL 770-M (RAL Effect) and Sawdust (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 24 vs 26 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 7.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

RAL 770-M vs Sawdust Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 770-M on one side and Sawdust 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.
