RAL 780-2 vs Napery
RAL 780-2 (RAL Effect) and Napery (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 6-point LRV gap — 74 for Napery vs 68 for RAL 780-2 — means Napery will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
