Black Jack vs RAL 110-2

Black JackBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 62.4Very different colors

Black Jack is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 110-2 comes from RAL Effect. Black Jack reads as grey, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 72 vs 6, RAL 110-2 will read as the brighter of the two — a 66-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 62.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Living Room

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
