Arctic Gray vs RAL 110-1
Arctic Gray (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 110-1 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Arctic Gray reads as green-grey, while RAL 110-1 reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 18-point LRV gap — 80 for RAL 110-1 vs 61 for Arctic Gray — means RAL 110-1 will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Arctic Gray vs RAL 110-1 in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Arctic Gray 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. RAL 110-1 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Arctic Gray.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. RAL 110-1 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Arctic Gray vs RAL 110-1 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Arctic Gray on one side and RAL 110-1 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.
