Joyful vs RAL 130-1
Joyful is a PPG color while RAL 130-1 comes from RAL Effect. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 82 and 81, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
