Firefly vs RAL 130-1
Firefly is a Behr color while RAL 130-1 comes from RAL Effect. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. At LRV 86 vs 81, Firefly will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
