Urban RaincoatBehrvsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 11.9Distinct difference

Urban Raincoat is a Behr color while RAL 110-1 comes from RAL Effect. Urban Raincoat reads as blue-grey, while RAL 110-1 reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 80 vs 57, RAL 110-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 23-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 11.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
