Ashen TanBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-1RAL EffectΔE 16.6Distinct difference

Ashen Tan is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 110-1 comes from RAL Effect. Ashen Tan reads as beige-greige, while RAL 110-1 reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 80 vs 51, RAL 110-1 will read as the brighter of the two — a 29-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 16.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
