Loft Space vs RAL 180-1
Loft Space is a Behr color while RAL 180-1 comes from RAL Effect. Hue-wise, Loft Space belongs to the grey family and RAL 180-1 to the blue family. At LRV 61 vs 49, Loft Space will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 9.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Loft Space vs RAL 180-1 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Loft Space and RAL 180-1 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Loft Space returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Loft Space will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 180-1 would.

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.
