RAL 260-5 vs N302
RAL 260-5 is a RAL Effect color while N302 comes from Tikkurila. RAL 260-5 reads as beige, while N302 reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 43 and 43, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 11.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
