Distant Gray vs RAL 110-2
Distant Gray is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 110-2 comes from RAL Effect. Hue-wise, Distant Gray belongs to the green-grey family and RAL 110-2 to the greige-grey family. At LRV 88 vs 72, Distant Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 16-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 8.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Distant Gray vs RAL 110-2 in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Distant Gray 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
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Distant Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-2 would.
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 Distant Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-2 would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Distant Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-2 would.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The LRV gap is large enough that Distant Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 110-2 would.

Distant Gray vs RAL 110-2 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Distant Gray on one side and RAL 110-2 on the other.
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.
