Baguette vs RAL 780-3
Where Baguette belongs to PPG's range, RAL 780-3 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 780-3 (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Baguette (LRV 49), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
