Crystalline vs RAL 110-2

CrystallineBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 6.4Noticeable difference

Crystalline (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 110-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Crystalline belongs to the green-grey family and RAL 110-2 to the greige-grey family. The 9-point LRV gap — 72 for RAL 110-2 vs 63 for Crystalline — means RAL 110-2 will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 6.4 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.

Crystalline vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Crystalline and RAL 110-2 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.

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 110-2 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. RAL 110-2 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
