Frost vs RAL 120-2
Where Frost belongs to Behr's range, RAL 120-2 is a RAL Effect color. Frost reads as white, while RAL 120-2 reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (87 vs 88), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Frost vs RAL 120-2 in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Frost and RAL 120-2 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.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Frost on one side and RAL 120-2 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.
