Emerald IsleBenjamin MoorevsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 57.6Very different colors

Emerald Isle (Benjamin Moore) and RAL 110-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. Emerald Isle reads as blue-green, while RAL 110-2 reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 56-point LRV gap — 72 for RAL 110-2 vs 16 for Emerald Isle — means RAL 110-2 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 57.6 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. 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.
