Boxcar Red vs RAL 110-2

Boxcar RedBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 54.9Very different colors

Boxcar Red (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 110-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Boxcar Red reads as pink-red, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 59-point LRV gap — 72 for RAL 110-2 vs 13 for Boxcar Red — means RAL 110-2 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 54.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.

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