Dove vs RAL 110-1

DoveBehrvsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 8.0Noticeable difference

Where Dove belongs to Behr's range, RAL 110-1 is a RAL Effect color. Dove reads as beige-greige, while RAL 110-1 reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. RAL 110-1 (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Dove (LRV 66), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Dove vs RAL 110-1 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Dove and RAL 110-1 are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that RAL 110-1 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Dove would.

Kitchen

In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. RAL 110-1 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Dove.

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.
