Nutmeg Glow vs RAL 780-4
Nutmeg Glow (PPG) and RAL 780-4 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 49 vs 47 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 3.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
