Ultra Pure White vs RAL 120-2 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Ultra Pure White 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.
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 brightness difference is modest but present — Ultra Pure White gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Ultra Pure White reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
