CitrineBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 35.6Very different colors

Citrine is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 110-2 comes from RAL Effect. Citrine reads as beige, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 72 vs 41, RAL 110-2 will read as the brighter of the two — a 31-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 35.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Living Room

Kitchen

Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that RAL 110-2 will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Citrine would.

Digital color is approximate.

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