RAL 370-6 vs Beeswax

RAL 370-6RAL EffectvsBeeswaxTikkurilaΔE 33.8 — Very different colors

RAL 370-6 (RAL Effect) and Beeswax (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 10-point LRV gap — 31 for Beeswax vs 21 for RAL 370-6 — means Beeswax will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 33.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
