RAL 270-4 vs N302
RAL 270-4 is a RAL Effect color while N302 comes from Tikkurila. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. With LRVs of 43 and 43, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.8, 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see RAL 270-4 on one side and N302 on the other.
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.
