Easy vs RAL 130-M
Where Easy belongs to PPG's range, RAL 130-M is a RAL Effect color. Easy reads as beige-greige, while RAL 130-M reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Easy (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than RAL 130-M (LRV 39), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Easy reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Easy reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Easy reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
